Oh my, the things we discuss! Still, this is a subject near and dear to my "heart" so here's my advice. Try plain psyllium husks, Metamucil & its generic equivalents have lots of extra gunk. Plain is better. Also try aloe capsules. I get my psyllium and aloe from The Vitamin Shoppe (vitaminshoppe.com). Careful with the aloe, it takes some adjustment. Probably no more than 1 per day at first. This combo works for me. First time in my life I've not had a problem in this department.
