leakage has gotten worse since Metamucil

PouchomarxMember

I had takedown of my second jpouch in March. I was experiencing some very minor leakage at all times of the day, but not horrible at all. I started taking Metamucil powder mixed in water for two days and I had to stop due to gas and just being uncomfortable from it. Problem is now my leakage has increased since taking it for the past few days. I always had this leakage since takedown and was scoped several weeks back and no pouchitis was seen so I don't think that's it. Why would my leakage increase after taking and stopping the Metamucil for 2 days? I have a Cipro prescription just in case I need it but don't think I have pouchitis. I am still having bathroom trips 5-7 times a day and no real urgency. Should I try a different fiber? or maybe Pepto Bismal?? its just always something with me

Still having the increased leakage and it's really worrying me now. I started the Cipro just cuz I need to try something. I could deal with the very minimum I had before but since stopping the Metamucil it has increased and not sure why. I have increased my Imodium as well and not helping
