PSYLIUM

Hello, I am taking psyllium but I can't seem to figure out my dosage. So far, it gives me multiple bowel movements in the morning—stools that aren't bulky enough to pass all at once. They are soaked with gel, making them sticky rather than cohesive. How much should I take, and what could be causing this effect? I drink about 3 to 4 liters of water a day, so I assume hydration isn't the issue? Thank you for your feedback.
