Hi - Michele's right. You need to (carefully!) eat enough insoluble fiber along with the soluble. The fruit smoothies and hummus are great, so are cooking/blending veggies into soups and pasta sauces. And try brown rice and oatmeal for your soluble fiber sources.

Can you take a soluble fiber powder supplement instead of the pills? There are options that are non-gelling, like Acacia or Benefiber.

Also, keep your water intake up and your exercise schedule on track. That will help normalize bowel function.

Welcome!

- Heather
