I just started using Psyllium husk powder a generic brand of metamucil. My fasting this morning was at 116. So I drank a glass of this fiber around noon today,, then had a low carb meal of eggs and broccoli. Two hours later did a BS test and result was 91 . This was very good for me as I had not been getting readings below 100 of late.

I have been taking psyllium husks for over 10 years DAILY. The benefits are so many and diverse. It helps me to control long years of hemorrhoids effectively. Recently, I found out it also helps controlling my URIC ACID levels, due to its ability to absorb and metabolise fructose efficiently as a soluble fiber. As it also improves gut health and promote digestion, it helps the body manage and excrete uric acid more efficiently.

I've been dealing with Colitis for 13 years and it's been tough. So much urgency. I just started psyllium over a week ago and it's been such a change for the better. I wish I found this year's ago.

I’ve been taking psyllium since 2018. I’m 31 now. My dad had really bad case of diverticulitis where all those little pockets in his intestines ruptured causing internal bleeding. Fortunately, the surgeons operated on him and were able to dissect the segment that was heavily damaged. Ever since then, I started taking (Metamucil)psyllium fiber and has been the best decision. Especially when making a BM, because I’m sure no one likes to poop hard stools out 😂

[@johoare6991]

Pysllium husk ive used for 6 years now so good for the body . Skin and hair . Ladles who are going through the menopsuse Pysllium husk removes access estrogen (if you have estrogen dominance) it also helps control hunger . I use 2 teaspoons in a large glass of water once before lunch and dinner . (I drink it then eat 30 mins later ) but all throughout the day water is very important taking this if you dont then it wont work like its suppossed to .

[@JudyVinAZ]

I’m on a low carb diet and my glucose is 150 this morning so I am fasting. I wanted to know if I should take vitamins with psyllium husks? I wanted to know several things because of my whacky blood sugar. So here I am. I stopped taking my meds that the doctor prescribed because he cannot answer one question : If my insulin level is five and it’s supposed to be two or three, how is forcing my body to make more insulin helpful? (It can’t be!!) Nevertheless, I am no fool and I need to get my glucose down as well as my insulin resistance so I will be taking fiber. I only recently found out it might help. I had it in my cabinet for a long time. I don’t like to use Metamucil because it has other things in it, but I have been sporadic, so, hopefully, consistency is the key.

When is the best time to take cillium

[@LiveLeanTV]

Taking psyllium husk 30 minutes before meals or with meals is beneficial for controlling blood sugar levels, improving digestion, and help with satiety.

[@marviemendoza6157]

Thank you very much!

[@Raut-warrior]

​@@LiveLeanTVis it wise to take it everyday? Here in India we only have it when we are suffering from constipation

[@marviemendoza6157]

Can we take cillium fiber for along time?

[@Dave_en]

​@@Raut-warriorI am from india too. When you have doubt that you may constipate, you should take one tablespoon of isabgol in normal or lukewarm water at night. Continue for few days till you feel light in stomach. After a week, again take it once. Then repeat once a week to maintain cleanliness. Or if you are planning to take it regularly then one teaspoon before meal would be sufficient. Dont make it regular habit or else it wont work without it.

[@nonyabusiness1126]

Does it affect nutrient absorption of either food or other supplements?

[@LiveLeanTV]

When taken with adequate water, psyllium husk doesn't generally interfere with nutrient absorption. However, it's essential to consume psyllium husk separately from medications and supplements, as it could potentially interfere with their absorption due to its bulking effect in the digestive tract. I recommend consulting with your healthcare professional first, if you are taking other medications.

[@Dave_en]

Dont consume it regularly. Just use it as dietary fiber supplement. Also avoid refined foodgrains such as all purpose flour etc which have low fiber content. Nothing to worry, its just a kind of natural sourced food which doesnt get digested but helps in digestion and elimination of waste.

[@GuntherAlcerro]

Excellent!

[@eleanorlao8393]

If you taking capsule with 8 oz of water would it dissolve by itself?

[@xtwmx]

Fine powder option is best with food in sauce, soup, porridge, omelette etc. Regular husks are more detoxing and best with just water on an empty stomach.

My question is/that could I use psyllium husk if I hypothyroidism along with GI issues will this be safe for me to se it with these conditions?

[@LiveLeanTV]

Psyllium husk is generally safe for many people, including those with hypothyroidism and GI issues. However, it's essential to start with a small dose and gradually increase it while monitoring how your body responds. If you have any concerns or specific medical conditions, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.

What if you have diverticulitis??

[@LiveLeanTV]

it's not my area of expertise, so I would always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice. However from what I've read, if you're in the recovery or management phase of diverticulosis, psyllium husk may be helpful in preventing future flare-ups. However, during an active diverticulitis episode, it’s best to avoid fiber and follow your doctor’s guidance.

it makes me fart a lot! very smelly! what this could indicate? Generally, I consume a lot of fibre and was wondering whether it is too much? it does slightly make my bowel movements less frequent...

[@Dave_en]

You are consuming lot of protein and fiber and not taking enough healthy fats. If no lubrication in intestine then you might get fissure soon. See a doctor if things dont work out soon.

[@fiolet94]

@@Dave_en you might be right. It's true that my diet is high in protein and fiber but I also eat healthy fats, mainly from nuts and seeds and egg yolks. I don't know how to find the right balance....

[@Dave_en]

@@fiolet94 Its better to consult a dietician to sort out things which you have no clue. Otherwise things would go out of hands. Farting is natural thing if it happens few times a day but in excess indicates problem in liver function. Get comprehensive medical tests done once a year to make sure you are doing well. Tests done in a package is much cheaper than individual ones.
