A member asked:
Loose stools for over a week that leave quickly. took psyllium, helped bulk stools. is soluble fiber the only problem? eat fiber but most insoluble.

Diarrhea: Loose stools are seldom the result of inadequate fiber. If these persist go and get evaluated. You also might just try a cup of Yogurt three times a day for a week or so.
