I wanted to write about this interesting fiber supplement. I started adding it to my protein shakes before bed.
Needless to say, I've become a regular guy!
Stuff is flavorless and mixes well into a whole milk protein shake. If you're struggling to get fiber in your body try this stuff. Buying it in bulk is the best way to go.

I use the pill version.
I am on Keto, which is mostly fats and protein. My natural ability to pass shits when I eat nothing but bacon, steak, fish, chicken and very small amounts of veggies is hard.
Using stool softeners and Psylium husk has made my life better. Becoming "regular" has made me feel so much better and it has improved my state of mind. No joke.
Something just isn't right if you're carrying around a little too much crap.

When mixed with just water, you have to drink psyllium quickly or else you're gulping down a glass of sludge. It does work wonders, and your shits slide out effortlessly. It's as if your chutney pipe was lined with ball bearings.
I'm shitting so much fiber I get rope burns, lol!

Its insoluble right? Just meant for scrubbing the insides and sliding the shits out? I used to take the pill version but I read the pills are dodgy and its best to gulp down the denser husks in free form.
I usually stick to flax meal for my fiber buy if people are saying the husks mixe well I give it a other try.

I only add 1 tablespoon. I did 2 once and had all sorts of farts for an evening.
I should also have mentioned the stuff I use is psyllium husk powder.

I have made bread without grains and then I mostly used psyillum and almond powder.
Actually quite good,only one carb a slice. But psyllium bloates and fills me up in a strange way.
Like I have stomach full of gas and can't burp or fart it out.

I put 1 or 2 tablespoons in a 32 oz morning smoothie.
no taste, but will vouch for the fact that it is extremely helpful in moving your bowels.
I bought a large can at a healthfood store for under 10 bucks, should last a month or more.

Recently working away from home for a few weeks, eating in a canteen. Lots of roasted vegetables on the hotplate, and the difference they made to my GI function was staggering.
