If you take soluble fiber and drink enough water you can prevent that. Anything with psyllium husks in it should do the trick well.

And if you use whole fresh psyllium seeds in cooking it's a million times better!

They have an okra like gumbo effect in soups & sauces.

Also great in oatmeal, etc.

You will have giant, healthy textbook quality "what'cha'ma'call'um's".

Been there, done that. Fiber and probiotics don’t work for everyone. Fiber made me worse and probiotics were just placebos.I’ve been fighting microscopic colitis for 9 years now and so far the only things that have helped me a *PRE*biotics and Entocort, a very expensive medication. I hope they come up with something soon. Oh yeah, quitting coffee has helped but it was misery coming off it.
