Hoeveel psylliumvezels bij diarree?
Psylliumvezels mengen zich met de darminhoud en zwellen op doordat ze water opnemen. U krijgt hierdoor meer en zachtere ontlasting. Dat prikkelt de darm om harder te gaan werken. Het is belangrijk om bij gebruik van dit middel veel te drinken: 1,5 tot 2 liter per dag.
Wat is beter Metamucil of movicolon?
Als de ontlasting te dik is, kunt u Psylliumzaad (Metamucil) juist met veel water innemen. Als Metamucil onvoldoende effect heeft kan Macrogol (Movicolon) worden voorgeschreven.
Hoe lang kun je Metamucil gebruiken?
U kunt dit middel gebruiken zolang u klachten van verstopping heeft. Het langdurig gebruik van laxeermiddelen kan in sommige gevallen ongewenst zijn. Indien u dit middel langdurig nodig heeft, overleg dan met uw arts.
Can Metamucil help with diarrhea?
If you have mild or moderate diarrhea, these changes can potentially ease your symptoms by making your stool firmer and slowing its passage through your colon. Typically, an effective adult dose of Metamucil and other psyllium products ranges anywhere from 1/2 tsp. to 2 tsp. mixed in an 8-oz. glass of water.
How long does it take for Metamucil to work?
Add a little more water to the glass, swirl gently and drink right away. Metamucil usually produces a bowel movement within 12 to 72 hours. Do not take Metamucil for longer than 7 days in a row without a doctor’s advice. Using a laxative too often or for too long may cause severe medical problems with your intestines.
