I was just diagnosed with diverticulosis and with my doctor's knowledge have been using Slippery Elm for a week.  It is working, but I have questions about it.  In particular, I'd like to know if it's better to take it before a meal or after, and when I should take a fiber supplement, and other medications in conjunction with it.

    I would like to know what kind of powder of slippery elm everyone is using and where did you buy it. I have the capsules and I thought maybe the powder would soothe my stomach.
