Re: Psyllium Husk Users

I am taking 1 heaping Teaspoon at night about an hour after my last meal. I used to have a BM every morning but now it is late in the afternoon or evening and I hate the feeling all day. I never took it until Atkins and needed it. Maybe I need to up it to a tablespoon?

I take mine the same as Elizellen - it's not a British thing it was a smarter way to get something down that I didn't think I could drink. I've also sprinkled it on top of my salad and dressing. Hey - it works!

Re: Psyllium Husk Users

I never had much success with the powder form, but took the capsules for a long time with plenty of water. On thyroid meds, I needed to wait before taking any calcium, so I took all supplements, including the psyllium husks caps after the mid-day meal. I just stopped taking them now that I am getting more fiber in my diet (just moved up to 35 net carbs, mostly veggies).

I have never heard anyone mention this brand, but I find it in most grocery stores around here, in both powder and capsule form. I took Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks Caps.

Re: Psyllium Husk Users

I have mine in a pancake I cook every morning. Found recipe on here somewhere. Don't know if cooking affects the effect.

No problems so far.

Re: Psyllium Husk Users

I take mine every morning with lots of water, its not big deal to me though, because the benefits far out way the taste of the grit. I also take it 30 or so before i eat dinner. It also will make you eat a lot less than you would normally.
