I started it about 5 days ago and I’m starting slowly but my question is about the dosage. I only eat 2 meals a day with 1 meal just being a snack. So far I’m up to taking 5 Metamucil capsules with the one main meal. It’s definitely causing some mild stomach noises and loose stools. Nothing major though but I’m a little scared to take more than the 5 per day since I only eat the one main meal and a snack. Am I completely missing any effect by only taking 5 capsules per day? Do I need to force myself to take 15-20 per day to help lower my LDL. I’m trying to eat as little as possible saturated fats and plenty of fiber thru apples, berries, and beans.

We’ve had a tankless water heater for almost 2 years with no issues but I’ve noticed today that when you are running the hot water in one area, and turn the cold on in another area that the hot water pulses coming out of the faucet. It’s a very fast pulse. Like half a second in between. I imagine it’s times for servicing but what could this possibly be.

After 6 weeks of high dose statins, my LDL is down to 85 but my A1C is lower but still high at 7.4. After reading a little bit, am I wrong to think that if I continue to work on the A1C (losing weight and exercise), that my LDL will likely come down some as a result of stabilized blood sugar levels? My goal is LDL less than 70.
