Ok I am a 33 year old overweight male. I have been having varying bowel movements from thin and flat to diarrhea for almost 2 years.
I have been to the Dr office and they say that those symptoms are probably IBS/stress related
I started taking Metamucil and it makes my bowel movements go back to normal.
When I miss a day my stool goes back to thin/flat.
My question is:
If Metamucil helps me to pass a normal stool, what is causing my stools to revert back to thin/flat when I dont take it? Wouldnt a tumor or obstruction cause the Metamucil created stool to come out thin/flat as well?
