Question:

I want to put a 2x2 wall with insulfoam board for insulation on the inside of an existing exterior wall.?

What I want to know is how much insulation this will offer.What can I put in the 2 inch space between the existing sheetrock and the new sheetrock?? The wall is dry, no mold.but is an old 2x4 wall with less than addiquate insulationI can not tear out the old wall so I am going to attach 2x2's to the 2x4's through the sheetrock and put an insulator in the space, a layer of plastic and new sheetrock.Any ideas????

Answer:

Yes, fiber has a huge effect on stool contentTry some Psyllium (Metamucil) for a few days and see if it clears up your problemAmericans do not get enough fiber so taking psyllium on a regular basis is a good idea for everyoneIt lowers your cholesterol, helps some with diabetes and probably lowers your risk for colon cancerGood luck
The main symptom of low fiber in your diet is constipationI dont know about the soft and kinda sandy stools, usually when your constipated it is hard and you go less than 3 times a week.
yes this can be caused by not enough fiber, most of your natural fiber is in your dark green vegi'sthere are other causes of this as well thoughsome times a stomach virus can do this as well., etc.try fiber to start and see if that helps.
Symptoms Of Low Fiber
no plug outlets and such I hopethat'll be a little more work to get those rightas well as the door and window trimsIt's sort of a weird process you have going thereyou're that guy I used to cuss at as I tore down his work aren't you? Seriously though.typically walls have an R11 ratingI am not sure how much R value you can get from a 1 to 1 1/2 foam board but I think that would be the only way to goIf you try to compress fiber insulation in that space it's going to cause you a lot of problems installing and in the end reduce the R vaule significant;y because you have compressed the insulation how ever on the bright sideif that wall you are covering is insulated you are already have some r value thereEven the pocket between the two walls created would act as an insulatoradding some thin foam board and eliminating any draft spaces should even improve your insulation situation.
