I have been taking Metamucil for the past several days and have noticed an improvement with the solidity, but not the frequency. I have tried the Caltrate that so many have given rave reviews but I think it tends to make my D worse and was wondering if perhaps it is the magnesium stearate.(or maybe I am just an oddball). I was wondering if taking Tums would serve the same purpose as a supplement and that ingredient isn't listed. I am also lactose intolerant. Another thing I was wondering if perhaps B-6, B-12 vitamins might be beneficial. I would appreciate if you could give me your take on this. ThanksGranny
