Fiber in ones diet

Bill AMember

I am taking fiber two or three times a day. I was once told I could take it 4 times a day. Did not believe its importance or lopermide. I do now. I want to increase but would someone tell me if any maximum applies , Also negatives regarding heavy use. My mistake for not believing. I take morphine sulfate and would like to hope one day for a alternative way to go. Thanks ps.

I am 1 1/2 years post surgery and am only now been able to reduce to BMs to 10 to 12 a day

It is highly individual. You can increase it as you wish until you get the stool consistency you desire. The key is gradual adjustments. You just don't want stool so thick you cannot pass it. Same is true for weaning from morphine.
