Well, I can't really answer your question about the antispasmodics, because I've never taken them. I would go ahead and start up using the peppermint again - that's a good antispasmodic in and of itself, and I tend to think that herbal remedies are less likely to make C worse than prescriptions (but I could be wrong, I'm not a C'er). As for the fiber... 2 psyllium capsules a day is NOT much at all. Those capsules typically contain only 1/2 gram of fiber apiece. (Check the packaging to see what yours contain.) You want to gradually work up to taking 12-15 grams of fiber a day, so if you continue with the psyllium caps and they are 1/2g apiece, you should work up to 24 to 30 a day. Personally, I'd look into taking a different fiber format - perhaps Heather's acacia, which is available on this site - because it's a lot more cost-efficient than the caps.
