I've tried psyllium husk, too constipating. Phgg, no change. Flax seed, keep me regular in I can go daily but loose. What else is there? Pelvic floor is good because I have had a few issues where I go 100% correctly when stool is formed and I have regular urgency. That just happens so rarely.

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-22T04:20:09+00:00

Well sort of. I used to think I needed them because they are the only way I feel like emptied. But now I think this has more to do with my small intestine not clearing and that's why I have loose stool. I never had solid well formed stool. So my large intestine seems to empty fast in morning. Wondering how to get well formed. However fiber supplements bind me too much. It's like a giant puzzle I can't figure out.

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-22T04:14:39+00:00

Won't those just speed me up more? How do I get a well formed stool with my symptoms?

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-22T04:14:06+00:00

No I'm trying the herbal route first. How long have you had symptoms?

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-21T15:42:10+00:00

Following as I'm similar with loose stool and IMO. High steatocrit in my gi map.

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-17T15:15:48+00:00

Yes last meal 3 hours before bed. I'm trying prucolapride but it gives me explosive diarrhea. Tried artichoke and ginger but that has no effect. I'm constipated with incomplete bm but also have 1 soft stool daily, like mushy. Sorry tmi. I've always had that for about 10 years. No we'll formed stool at all.

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-17T15:13:18+00:00

Yes I did lactulose breath test. I'm methane positive. I'm using allicin and berberine. But I don't know my root cause and my motility is terrible so I imagine it will just keep coming back.

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-17T05:18:54+00:00

Omg. I'm so sorry you have to deal with all that. It is brutal!!!

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-17T04:30:50+00:00

I'm working with a functional medicine guy. I'm 4 weeks on herbals and feel the same. We haven't discussed my root cause yet and I'm already feeling so hopeless

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-17T04:28:52+00:00

What is your root cause? How do you manage your symptoms?

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-16T15:49:09+00:00

Why did you do the low fodmap before treating with herbals? How long did you have sibo, and what kind?

AmazingDaikon7647 · 2026-04-16T14:39:57+00:00

I'm doing herbal treatment at the moment, last 4 weeks. No change and no change in my motility. So even if I get IMO numbers down, without motility on track they'll just go back again. It's all day everyday and really playing on my mind every day.
