Ya know, when people do experiments, they keep everything the same and just change one factor, to see if and how that one factor changes the results. And even THEN it could be something else they didnt consider! So just saying, sometimes it sounds like you are changing meds and diets and supplements and sugars and salts and caffeines and liquids, that idk how you can tell whats doing what.

But i am glad to hear you are slowing down the metamucil. That stuff scares me. My gut is like a delicate flower!
