Hi, please feel free to move this somewhere more suitable.

I had my ileostomy reversal following ultra low anterior resection 8 months ago and doing (what I consider) fairly well, avoiding fibre like the plague and drinking quite a bit less, taking one loperamide before bed, sometimes 2 on a wine night, only problems being skiddy pants occasionally. Since my last prescription ran out I quit the lop. for 2 or 3 weeks with no ill effects, until I picked up some kind of stomach bug last week and  had 4/5 a day for a few days to get things back under control. Now seems back to "normal".

I've got some Psyllium caps for soluble fibre supplement as I've heard this can help, anyone on here taking this for LARS? What dosage/timing? The packaging days 2 caps/day (1400mg total), I've read of heaped tbsps daily and more.

I'm aware that "everyone is different", and am more than happy to self-experiment, just looking for some kind of baseline. Also any other advice greatly appreciated

Cheers
