    Just to make it clear, I am not a physician and this is not professional advice. I am recommending this due to personal experience.

    Have you ever tried taking Psyllium Husk? A tablespoon of it is mixed into a large glass of water and taken immediately. After soaking with water the Psyllium Husk transforms into a gel that helps digestion by providing bulk. It is usually taken to alleviate constipation but can be taken to help with loose stools as well.
