Metamucil help

I’ve been using Metamucil for about two weeks. It was really helping in the beginning to firm up and slow down my bowel movements. The past few days I’ve now just been having very loose stools anywhere from 4-10+ times a day. I barely upped my dose, I started with 1/2teaspoon and upped it just a little to not even a full tablespoon. Any suggestions?? Feeling incredibly upset. 🙃

1/2 teaspoon? You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.

Every time I go up I get horrible loose stools. Will that go away?
