Hi Jake,
My husband had the same problem. We think that he, too, was getting "bound up" with too much powder. Our solution has worked VERY well: Metamucil tablets (psyllium husk in a caplet) -- 6 a day: 2 in the morning, 2 at lunch, 2 at dinner, WITH (and this is very important) 1000 mg of flaxseed oil (also a tablet) also 3 times a day, with the Metamucil.
Spacing the Metamucil tablets in small doses through the day did the trick. And the flaxseed oil helps everything stay, well, slippery.
Best of luck. And congrats on a successful colonoscopy!!
Jeannie
