A member asked:
I think i overdose on fiber supplement. i'm experiencing flatulence, bloating and mucoid stools. what should i do and how long will it last.

2-3 days: hopefully you have stopped taking the supplement. It should be out of your system within 2-3 days, unless you are normally constipated. Drink lots of water, walk around, massage your belly clockwise, take warm baths.
