psyllium

Note that psyllium is unique in that not only does it not absorb, but it also binds to everything on the way out, so the risk is low.

Remember, 5g psyllium should be taken with 20 fl oz water, mixed and consumed immediately before it gels.

Oatmeal (and other soluble fibers like psyllium husk) capture this bile and it is excreted in stool.

Not related to your question, but the lead levels in psyllium husks are too high for me to consume them daily.

I already take psyllium husk to mitigate problems with hard stools but I dislike the taste and consistency.

I also have plain psyllium husk, and I avoided it because I liked the sugar of the Metamucil.

Given the word count of your original post, I can tell you that daily psyllium husk is a miracle.

I do, and when I actively and consistently take Metamucil or a psyllium husk, it has helped.

Some good notes on heartburn, a fiber regime, some combination of wheat dextrin, psyllium husk, inulin.

Maybe look into taking psyllium husk for those awesome no-wipe poos.

There are apparently cases of psyllium leading to weird allergic reactions.

You can buy Psyllium husks by the pound as well.

People feel good for adding “fiber” to their diet but it has none of the effects of psyllium husk or oat fiber.

Research shows viscous fibers like psyllium or the fiber in oats can have some impact on improving blood sugar control and lowering blood cholesterol levels." “Fermentable wheat dextrin does not form a gel with liquid, so it is not helpful for constipation or diarrhea.

Psyllium husk by itself (power, not capsules) is utterly disgusting by the way.

Psyllium is a convenient source of it, although it's been difficult for me to time it right to avoid meds for two hours around it.

I've found it helpful to knock down a glass of metamucil (Psyllium Husk) morning an night most days where I can.
