Psyllium and Imodium

I take a rounded tablespoon of Citrucel in a glass of cold water once a day in the a.m.  It works for me.  No Imodium for me.  Trial and error, I think!  Best wishes!

I take one labeled dose (measured per the label) of psyllium after breakfast and before dinner. It's served me well for 13 years. I recently switched from all Metamucil to half Metamucil/half Konsyl, to reduce the sugar involved (I don't like artificial sweeteners).

I used to take more Lomotil years ago, but now I just take one at bedtime unless I'll be away from a bathroom for several hours (e.g. on a boat). Lomotil slows the gut, like Imodium.

I was told the  optimal time to take immodium is about 30 minutes before a meal but I just take one at night before bed and it works for me

I find that a half dose or one full teaspoon of metamucil works best.  The full dose causes too many bathroom trips.

I am a bit over the average for metamucil (although I use pysillium husks as I hate the sweet taste of Metamucil). I take a very large teaspoon -more like a tablespoon- four time per day. At your stage I took Imodium at 3 pm and at bedtime as evening was more active but I don't often take any now. Hope all of this input helps...trial and error, error and trial.
