Experiences with

Psyllium

Looking at the ingredients all the others seem to contain psyllium husk and I am wondering if anyone else gets a reaction to that ingredient?

In all honesty the recipes look like things I would never cook and, if I did, probably only the once as they have ingredients I am not familiar with like "psyllium seed husk" what on earth is that and where would you get it?

In fact, it has swung to the opposite extreme so I have to make sure I take my psyllium and sometimes stool softeners and also Cascara Sagrada capsules.

Guess I'll start taking a half of a Cascara Sagrada capsule (along with my usual psyllium husk drink and one stool softener... I still get nervous going out now, because when the urge hits, it has no patience whatsoever... Have any of you just 'switched' like this suddenly??

Some place I read that it helps to take a dulcalax-type stool softener (I use the Kroger brand) and take it shortly after I do my psyllium husk drink close to bed time. The effect has been surprising...

I decided myself on the chemo days not to take any Psyllium (or other things I’ve tried) in the morning when the Chemotherapy pills have to go down.

I bought lepicol took it with juice, very bad pains. Advice line says juice maybe bad for ibs as sugar. Anyone else suffer.

If your doctor approves it, you might also consider taking fiber supplements, such as psyllium or methylcellulose. If these simple methods don’t work, your doctor might consider giving you a stool softener or a laxative. Source: Pfeiffer, R.F. (2005) Intestinal Dysfunction.

I started using Lepicol 1week ago and I thought I`d give my first impression. I`m an IBS D sufferer of many years normally using Imodium and Buscopan to control things but over the last 6 months or so symptoms have got significantly worse. Anyway, about Lepicol. I started on 1 spoonful twice per day

An update to this post: https://healthunlocked.com/theibsnetwork/posts/1177009/ibs-or-ibd-the-investigation-is-ongoing My GP decided to try me on Fybogel again and once again it resulted in hard stools and this then caused bleeding, most likely from fissues! Therefore, I stopped taking this after a
