Hello, I m 29 years old and I was taking Metamucil once twice a day. Then a month later I m having trouble pooping and my urine flow has slow down. Sometimes I can urinate with medium stream and sometimes a light to dribble stream. At first I was urinating every 10 to 20 mins. But through the week I m not having to go for hours at a time. I have no blood in my urine and I have no pain at all. I will have a tense in the abdominal sometimes but not all the time.
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to Metamucil use. It is a bulk-forming fiber laxative and can cause changes in bowel habits, flatulence, gas. So, I suggest stopping the treatment and use dimethicone medication such SA ESMISAB to relieve the bloating. I also recommend eating a health diet and Chat Doctor.  This medication does not influence in the urinary tract, so you should do an urinalysis for further evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
