WILL IT CAUSE HARD STOOLS?

You may need to check it yourself. I have longstanding issues with hard stools that pre-date my using ThickIt. ThickIt contains cornstarch only. I have used this for a year and love it. Tasteless and can vary amount used depending on the liquid.I eat a Fiber One every day and it prevents hard stools, constipation for me.

My Dad takes it for swallowing problems due to Parkinson's. I have noticed any stool problems.

Not at all. I take it every day with no issues and I have a very sensitive nose and stomach. Good product. Some of the others are fishy.

It is better as a preventative than an after-the-fact; however, with a cup of hot tea, it melts better in the tummy, and the liquid helps, also. Combined with a stool softener and a laxative pill, it works better in combination than any of those products alone. Fiber softens hard stools over a period of time, not right away. Taken daily, there are fewer episodes of constipation.

It should, plus you should so some squats while taking it also. Those should help

No, my sister, who uses it, has not detected any type of odor from the stool. She loves it.

It is not the reason to take it, but it does have a laxative effect in larger amounts. How much that is depends on your body. The reason to take it is to increase the friendly flora in the gut and probably works best taken with another probiotic food or supplement.

I don't know the official answer, but I wouldn't do it. Two things come to mind: 1. Possible chemical interaction (natural things are chemicals as well - just not "synthetic" chemicals) 2. A waste of good vitamins, as the C.K.L.S. acts in a mild laxative way - flushing those vitamins right down the toilet!

I don't think so. Psyllium tends to constipate me, even if I drink a ton of water. Also, it doesn't mix well, and the taste is vile. Most products contain sugar and artificial flavors to make it taste better.

I think the answer is yes...this is normal for this particular product. It did not help my gastric reflux, which was the reason I used it..but it did cause me to have an overactive gut! So I know something was in it..but I really don't know what! I personally would not waste my money on this again.

My dog already had loose stools due to the worms. I recommend also giving your dog a probiotic along with Panacure. That seemed to help harded his stools, plus it puts back good bacteria in their system. We used Proviable, paste with capsules:) hope this answer helped:):):) if your dog is showing signs of worms, treat him as soon as possible. I would not hold off on treating.

Not to my knowledge. This product was recommended to me years ago by my Holistic Chiropractor. I have had no ill effects.

Not to my knowledge - I've been using it for about a month now and it doesn't have a laxative effect on me.

It's organic...so my guess is no. I'd only worry about chemicals reacting to weather. Plus this suff is the solids from waste treatment plants. In other words it's poop. U will be fine..it's late June here in NY and I put a bad down last week.

I have not had any personal experience with stool eating issue and this product. Been using it a long time and do not have a stool eating problem, maybe that is the reason why. Although upon initial use and a inquiry with the company, about 20 years ago, they did claim that it can help with stool eating issues, as well as many other problems. They did not guarantee this, although you may want to call the company direct and see what they have to say about now.

There is no connection between this product and bowel movements. This is a probiotic to improve your immune system and help your digestive health. Hope this helps. Sounds like you may be looking for a laxative.

I did not notice a rubber odor but our home is well ventilated so if there was one, I doubt it was very strong... my husband would have complained, he is sensitive to odors. I do notice that when I want to step on the stool, I must not put any pressure or weight on the handle before I put my foot on the stool as it will tip or lean outward from the stool.
