Have you ever tried taking psyllium husk supplements? It's the same stuff that's in Metamucil, I recently started taking 2.5g of it daily a few weeks ago (5 500mg pills) and it has been an absolute game changer. My entire adult life I've dealt with issues of
1. soft stool and not being able to have a complete bowel movement, so it was as if my bowels were both too loose and frozen at the same time. Would have a loose bowel movement that would just kind of stop half way through and no amount of straining could empty my bowels, so I'd just have to wipe endlessly then continually go back to the bathroom hourly to reclean myself or hope my shit had descended enough to try and finally empty. But I was basically like the chocolate soft serve at a 7-11 during a rolling brownout in Alabama in August.
2. I would frequently alternate between days of constipation when I couldn't move my bowels at all, and then would have a very large bowel movement that so emptied me that I would feel stomach cramps for a couple minutes as my large intestine deflated.
I just assumed I'd have to live like this my whole life, and it was getting worse. But I started taking these fiber supplements and I cannot believe how well they've fixed both these problems. It is almost like I want to get up on my roof and yell out I'M CURED. It's really astonishing, that just an ordinary supplement can do all this.
