I got on a high fat keto type of diet, eating a lot of things that are considered bad. I got rid of the bread, potatoes, cokes/ diet cokes and refined sugars. I still drink some sweet tea from time to time. On my last labs back in the first part June, my A1C went down from a 6.5 to a 5.9 with no medication. My LDL went from 265 to 155. I couldn’t believe it! I lost about 20 pounds, did about 25 to 30 mins on a row machine 4 times a week along with some other exercise involved also. I started drinking about a gallon of water a day and I was taking around 5 or 6 Psyllium capsules 2 or 3 times a day and I was taking Braggs Apple Cider vinegar pills too. I’m not as hungry and I don’t miss the sweet bad foods I use to eat is another benefit.

I went on a keto diet after losing Fifty pounds on a calorie restricted diet, because after almost two years, I grew tired of counting calories and meals my food. After six months of less than thirty total grams of carbohydrates per day, I gained back 15 of the 50 that I lost. The most carb dense food I consumed was iceberg lettuce and green cabbage.

Psyllium actually took away my bloating and gas. I was already eating lots of fiber, but my digestive system isn’t the greatest at processing fiber, so psyllium has been a godsend.

Does it really srub toxic out of intestine wall been suffering ibs/intestine permeability due to lack of pooping

[@hugomarquez3189]

@@poohstar800 my problem was more of a diarrhea issue, because my poop would be more loose/pieces, and I’d go 6 or 7 times in the day…but I also had days of constipation. For me if I go once I’m constipated, cuz I never do everything just once. So I’d alternate. Psyllium regularized my bowel movements. I still go a bunch, about 4 times a day, but my poop is fully formed and easy to pass, and I don’t have the alternate days of constipation, I just always go 4 times, sometimes 3 sometimes 5. I think it helps with both diarrhea and constipation, it allows the intestine to absorb the water better and it clumps up the poops but also softens them, so the poops get bigger but also easier to pass.

[@yarapotinasatyanarayana569]

undoubtedly psyllium husk is amazing 🎉

[@Some-RANDOM-IDIOT-On-YT]

I started taking two+ tablespoons a day: one in the morning after I test my blood and befor i dose myself with black coffee/espresso, two teaspoons before I break my (16 - 19hr) daily fast, and 1.5 tsp a few hours before sleep. I see a flattening of my blood glucose levels similar to eating a strict kego diet. I am currently on a low carb Mediterranean diet.

Isn't that a lot? 1 tblspn or 10 GM's. Is fine.

[@jimmylee1776]

Thanks for this video. I have been taking a flat tablespoon of psyllium husk mixed with a flat tablespoon of black chia seeds in a glass of water. I stir this mixture & let it sit for about 5 minutes, to allow the mixture to absorb the water. Then I drink a couple of mouthfuls of this mixture with every meal. The main purpose is this mixture keeps me regular & I don’t constipate. Also it helps to get rid of the bad cholesterol & clears my arteries.
