Psyllium Reviews

Show: for
I use the 1 mixed with probitics I think it helps as i'm on long term antibotics for lungs
Never know when it will "happen!"
I can't have less than 4 capsules a day.
It helps by creating a coating for my gut, easing the pain of a flare, and when I have diarrhea, it "congeals" it so that it's not SOOOOO runny.
definatley helps but I miss my perdiem granules!

(aka Metamucil) These have changed my life. I take two Psyllium Husk capsules (500mg) three times a day with plenty of water and haven't had an infection since. Its the holy grail - at least for my system.
I take 2 caspsules twice daily and this seems to help regulate things a little better
I use Citrecill, hope I spelled it correctly.
I use it went I get a flare up. Once I get things to a point that there is no pain, I stop using it and depend on my high fiber diet.
I use this most every day.
actually colonix (colon cleanser)
Working / Worked
easier to drink that other fiber drinks and doesn't contain any estrogen which is a bonus for me. also less expensive.
helps quite a bit
take every day. keeps me regualar.
I take 2 Fibercon before going to bed each night to help solidify my stool. Sometimes I wonder if it makes my diarrhe worse.
Seems to help a bit, i try to drink it every day...
