Yep, I'd increase your dose...       09/16/04 01:55 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA try going to another 1 Tbsp. dose each day, for 2 Tbsp. total. If it took you a while to reach the 1 Tbsp. you can increase more slowly - listen to your own body here. Also - about 1/3 the fiber in psyllium, which is what Metamucil uses, is insoluble. So if you've eliminated the psyllium make sure you're getting insoluble fiber from foods, and not relying 100% on soluble fiber. It's always important to use soluble fiber (foods and supplements) as a foundation to let you safely add insoluble fiber.
