Yesterday I purchased a brand called Smooth Move, which contains organic psyllium and vegetable caps, unlike the Metamucil ones which has Polysorbate 80 and other additives which I found could cause serious health problems. I took the Smooth Move ones which didn't really bulk up my stools like the Metamucil ones had. I followed the directions - 5 caps 2-3 times a day. then this morning i increased it by one cap and it seemed to help but not much.
So i'm also wondering is it o.k to go past recommended dosage of any brand when things are not up to par?
because, Harry, if you're reading, you stated your wife takes 3 or 4 twice daily of the Vitamin Shoppe caps (which i plan to try later) when the bottle states only 1 or 2 .
Your advice/response would be much appreciated.:)

Im not saying I have never ignored the pkg directions before, but they are on there for a reason. (its hard not to direct a reply to someone) Being under the care of a Dr is the best way to go. If a person cannot afford it, try the Health Department. Something is causing these symtoms. OTC's can be dangerous when taken with other meds, or even alone, if there is an unlying cause.
