Does Drinking Metamucil Cause Irregular Bowel Movement?

Hello, recently I have changed my diet to become more healthier and have stopped drinking soda, I came off my medicine of suboxone recently and now my stools have been like mud two to three times a day and my stomach is bothering me a bit. I drink two Metamucil packets a day? Is this cause for concern

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello

You need to have a stool sample sent to the lab for cultures and you also need a screening for an H pylori stomach infection.

This sounds like a bacterial enteritis problem
