Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Metamucil if you drink it really quickly.
  • Talk to a doctor but a psyllium husk supplement, like metamucil or whatever, can help a lot
  • Try daily metamucil for a couple weeks BEFORE you go hiking, so you can see if it makes things more predictable. It's a popular product for a reason, this is exactly why people use it.
  • Metamucil or some powdered fiber is usually the best route if you are concerned.
  • I can't recommend a probiotic, but I started metamucil everyday and within a week my nervous stomach (that I had for 10+ years) disappeared.

Cons

  • I do have metamucil on hand and miralax and I if it gets too bad ill just go in for a colonic.
  • Psyllium is *so* incredibly binding and horrible for my gut. So is Metamucil.
  • I just bought Metamucil today to up my fiber intake. Does that count?

One way to get more fiber is whoe psyllium husk, which they sell in health food stores like Sprouts, or at Walmart something like Metamucil or the store knockoff.

Stool softeners didn't do anything for me. I recommend metamucil with lots of water to everyone out there.
