Reddit mentions: The best psyllium nutritional supplements

alright here goes my exhaustive list of stuff that goes into my preworkout! i love to research the stuff that works, and then experiment to see how effectively they work for me, especially on keto.

1. 1 scoop of pre jym from bodybuilding.com - just because i don't want to add all those ingredients (good compared to most) on my own and it tastes pretty good (raspberry lemonade). it does, however, have 4g carbs per scoop - https://www.bodybuilding.com/store/jym/pre-jym.html
   
   
   
2. 1/2 scoop of optimum nutrition hydrowhey protein powder (about 15g protein) - fast digesting preworkout protein seems more logical than just bcaas. keeps me satiated during my workout and seems to boost recovery times because i have the full gamut of proper amino acids in my bloodstream as exercise-induced insulin rises. turbo chocolate and chocolate peanut butter are my favorites. vanilla surprisingly sucks and gets very foamy - https://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/platinum_hydrowhey.html
   
   
   
3. 1 tsp curcumin powder from bulk supplements - expensive but 1kg lasts a long time - go to examine.com to see the dozens of benefits it has across the board. i use this to help alleviate my disc issues, but it feels great for workouts because it reduces inflammation everywhere, especially joints. you can get pills instead, but they're not as cost effective and i like to blend it into my shakes. MAKE SURE YOU PAIR IT WITH BIOPERINE (already in pre jym but super cheap anyway) OR GET THE BIO AVAILABLE TYPES. otherwise, only your gut will get the benefits -

4. 1 digestive enzyme pill - research has shown that such enzymes not only help with what you'd expect, digestion, but also boost muscle synthesis, immune system, reduce soreness, etc. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RH5K26I/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   
   
5. 1 tbsp extra citrulline malate - because 1 scoop of pre-jym doesn't have the clinical dose of around 8g. research has shown that it reduces soreness and speeds up muscle repair. i believe it helps performance as well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EYDJU50/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
6. EDIT: 1/2 tsp (not 2 tsp) extra beta alanine - because 1 scoop of pre-jym doesn't have enough. this stuff kinda acts like creatine, boosting the number of reps you can do. especially helpful on my high rep/speed days. great for crossfit types of workouts if you're into those. i like the tingly feeling as well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EIO4I8E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
7. 1/2 tsp potassium citrate - i take electrolytes before and during my workouts -
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ENSA93S/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
8. 1/16 tsp magnesium glycinate - one of the most bioavailable forms of mg and doesn't mess up your digestion -
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F7OZJR8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
9. 1/2 tsp calcium citrate - Ca and Mg go well together in the body. also, multivitamins rarely hit the RDA for calcium -
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F8I5XPG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
10. 1/2 tsp pink salt - sodium! need lots of it because i sweat a lot - https://www.samsclub.com/sams/himalayan-pink-salt-5-lb-fine-grain/prod20131268.ip
    
    
    
11. 1/4 tsp vitamin c - i take a lot of vit C to help with disc healing. collagen synthesis requires vit C. of course, great anti-oxidant, great for skin, etc. -
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AYIM9Y8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    
    
    
12. 1/2 tsp ALCAR - i supplement this mostly for the nootropic effect (boosts the brain and concentration), but it supposedly helps with fat breakdown and energy a little bit. i feel razor sharp concentrated during my workouts with this. also, it's just plain old good for the brain. -
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E7H96DY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
    
    
    
13. 200 mg L-theanine - smooths out the jittery feeling from caffeine to provide more stable energy. also good before bed to get higher quality of sleep. -

14. 100mg pill RALA - good for the nervous system and energy - https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Stabilized-R-Lipoic-BioEnhanced/dp/B000I4C19G/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492089382&sr=8-1&keywords=doctor%27s+best+rala
    
    
    
15. 200mg coq10 - good for the heart, boosts energy a bit - https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Absorption-Bioperine-Supplement/dp/B00HRGN36S/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492089466&sr=8-2&keywords=doctor%27s%2Bbest%2Bcoenzyme%2Bq10&th=1
    
    
    
16. 320mg saw palmetto extract pill - good for men's prostate health, keeps good testosterone high (instead of DHT), and for me, prevents the hairloss that creatine (i think) has induced. not just bs bro science, go to examine.com for research. i personally have regrown a lot of hair by taking 2-3 three of these a day for the last three months! - https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Palmetto-Softgels-Count/dp/B006RQ6TAG/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492092375&sr=8-1&keywords=doctor%27s+best+saw+palmetto
    
    
    
17. 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder - keeps my digestion on track, prevents the indigestion i tend to get from MCT oil - https://www.amazon.com/Bulksupplements-Pure-Psyllium-Powder-grams/dp/B0100QRXOO/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1492092483&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=psyllium%2Bhusk%2Bpowder&th=1
    
    
    
18. 10g MCT oil - i either use brain octane or miCkey T Eight because they are pure C-8 caprylic acid instead of blends of the crappier acids. definitely boosts energy during long workouts. careful, it tends to mess with your stomach if you don't ease into it. if you're good with coconut oil, you're probably good with this. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RUCHISS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    
    
    
19. 100mg hyaluronic acid - helps with joints and skin. i have noticed my knee and elbow pain going away while taking this. skin complexion also improved. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00663G8WO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    
    
    currently experimenting with:
    
    
    
20. clear muscle - i usually supplement HMB, but this is the newer liquid variant. its pricey, and i haven't noticed anything bad about it, but it's hard to say if it's working better than the much cheaper powdered HMB. studies are probably very biased, so i can't really trust them - https://www.amazon.com/MuscleTech-Advanced-Strength-Building-Capsules/dp/B00JQ3WXS4/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492094034&sr=8-1&keywords=clear+muscle
    
    
    
21. phospha muscle - phosphatidic acid has shown some promise in studies, but again, probably biased research. also cannot tell yet, but i have seen some decent strength gains pairing this with clear muscle. we'll see! - https://www.amazon.com/MuscleTech-Phospha-Clinically-Phosphatidic-SoftGels/dp/B00UVAG1PM/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492094155&sr=8-1&keywords=phospha+muscle
    
    
    phew! making this list made me realize how much time and effort i put into the trial and error of my preworkout. of course, i supplement a lot of this stuff with my other meals as well. as you can see, i'm very big on supplements, biohacking, and nootropics. i read up a lot on research in my spare time.

Hi Julie,

It took me over a year to alleviate most of my constipation but all the above definitely helped.

-Slippery Elm - 1 Capsule 2x a day - taken between meals. Good for calming inflammation in stomach and helps repair and coat the stomach lining. Also helps with constipation and diarrhea. Makes a big difference on settling down stomach and soothing stomach pains. It can lower blood pressure.
https://www.amazon.com/Foods-Slippery-400mg-Capsules-100-Count/dp/B010VOZ2MK/ref=sr_1_6_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1529628232&sr=1-6&keywords=slippery+elm

-Psyllium Husk - 1 Capsule 2x a day (for moderate to severe constipation) - taken between meals. A gentle insoluble fiber and really does a good job of moving things along.
https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Psyllium-Husk-500-Capsules/dp/B0013OW2KS/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1542294329&sr=1-4&keywords=psylium%2Bhusk&th=1

-Marshmallow Root - 1 capsule 2x a day - taken between meals. Similar to Slippery Elm benefits. Very good for stomach lining. It can lower blood pressure.
https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Marshmallow-Root-Capsules/dp/B001E10JKU/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1529628409&sr=8-5&keywords=marshmallow%2Broot&th=1

-Magnesium Oil Spray - Good for calming the body and for aiding digestion. I do 6-8 sprays on my stomach and chest before bed. Helps constipation and aid digestion.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CKEBFSE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

-Triphala - Generally good for digestion. Helps fight H Pylori and helps with Detoxification. I take 1/8 to 1/4th tsp every night. Mixes in water.
https://www.amazon.com/Banyan-Botanicals-Triphala-Powder-Detoxification/dp/B005EIK9Z4/ref=sr_1_7_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1529707176&sr=1-7&keywords=triphala&th=1

-Tulsi (Holy Basil) - Good for all around health and promote energy and sleep. I take 1/8 tsp every night. Mixes in water.
https://www.amazon.com/Banyan-Botanicals-Tulsi-Powder-Pound/dp/B0058AASOA/ref=sr_1_28_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1529707224&sr=1-28&keywords=holy%2Bbasil&th=1

Probiotics

-----------------

They've been pivotal in restoring more balance to my stomach, digestion, and overall health.

I've resolved on taking three different probiotic products because variety can help crowd out H Pylori and heal your stomach overall.

-Custom Probiotics - 11 Strain Probiotic Powder - 100 Gram
It seems expensive but it's super cost efficient and lasted me about year which is amazing.
For dosage, I only use the small plastic spoon that it comes with because the standard dosage of "260 billion" per day seems a little too intense to me.
I started with taking 25 billion (one small plastic spoonful) per day mixed in water. Stomach upset and gas is normal at the beginning stages so starting small helps your stomach get acclimated to the new strains.
I'm up to 100 billion per day (4 small plastic spoonful) now, 30 minutes to 1 hour before a meal.
https://www.customprobiotics.com/custom-probiotics-11-strain.htm

-Renew Life Extra Care Probiotic - Ultimate Flora - 150 billion - 30 Capsules
This probiotic is amazing for adding tremendous amount of variety to the strains in your stomach. It also contains "L Reuteri" which is effective in reducing and suppressing H Pylori.
Whenever I start a new bottle, I start with approximately 1/4 capsule (I open up the capsule and pour some it's contents in water) for the first week and move up to 1/2 capsule till the end of the bottle. Makes it last longer and because I'm already supplementing with another probiotic.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IN7867Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

-Bronson Saccharomyces Boulardii - 20 Billion - 180 capsules
Good for restoring balance to gut biome. I start out with half a capsule (approx 5 billion) in water at mealtime, once per day.
https://www.amazon.com/Bronson-Saccharomyces-Boulardii-Clinically-Vegetarian/dp/B01DWMC794/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1529676374&sr=8-5&keywords=bronson+saccharomyces+boulardii+probiotic


--------------------------------

Timing of Probiotics

-----------------

This was a super tricky thing to figure out. A lot of conflicting reports on what time you should take it, with food, without food, at bedtime, or first thing in the morning.

Here's the best two times that have worked for me. I go back and forth to accommodate schedule changes if need be:

1. 30 Minutes Before Breakfast - Custom Probiotics and Renew Life mixed in water.
   Take S Boulardii with other food enzymes. Make sure to take herbal antibiotics at another meal time.
   
   
2. 30 Minutes Before Dinner - Custom Probiotics and Renew Life mixed in water.
   S Boulardii with other food enzymes. Make sure to take herbal antibiotics at another meal time.

I definitely think if you stopped in January, with beginning to try in May, your system should be clear.

I like to do a natural detox about everything 3 months (when the seasons change), for 3-5 days. You could add several different types of detoxing after you quit smoking to really, really clean up.

I add a spoonful each of bentonite and psyllium husk to a glass of cranberry juice. (It can be any juice, but cranberry is strong - to mask out weird tastes - and it's known for being "good" for feminine issues. And I love the taste.) It's super sugary though, and cutting sugars is a good part of a detoxing, so I'd water it down. Mix everything up well with a spoon, and drink up.

You could also add Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) into your life, if you haven't be acquainted already. It's amazing.
It's can be crazy disgusting at first, but the results are wild. It will absolutely impact your:

• digestion
  
• bowel movements (can cause diarrhea if you take a lot at first; work up to 1 shot glass of it)
  
• energy
  
  
  
  It's recommended before you eat in the morning and/or afternoon. A shot every morning will start to make changes within a day. Do half a shot to start, mixed with water. You'll want a chaser of at least more water, if not something juice to get that taste out of your mouth.
  I used to do this as part of a healthy weight loss plan. It helped with my appetite and digestion, and honestly gave me a lot of diarrhea. I realized I was just taking too much, so cut back, and it now really helps if I'm ever constipated. You will likely really want natural and safe ways to help with constipation with your preggers. You will likely be crazy constipated often.
  
  Lastly, a actual "detox" kit is always good. These are my 2 favorites, but there are more out there that are good. Inner Cleanse is the cheaper (1/2 the cost), and it's gentle. Like ACV, it can cause diarrhea. Read and follow the directions.
  The other one is Raw Cleanse. It's more complicated and I found it pretty gross, but if you can stomach the process (or find a middle ground with it, like adding juice), it's quite effective. Both of these kits are different, but their ingredients have detoxing elements that nothing else so far has offered.
  
  Also, I recommend drinking kombucha at least weekly. IMHO, this is one of the best brands for kombucha (besides locally made goodness). There are a few other brands that are good, but watch our for the sugar.
  
  So, if it's not apparent by now, all of these detoxing, in some way, stimulate you to ultimately poop a lot. Trying all these different ways of detoxing will not only detox you up, but you can find one detox that you prefer, and then do that one occasionally. I do a super big detox, as in all the things described above combined, maybe every 18. mos - 2 years, and then just one of those (cranberry juice blend or detox pills) every ~3 months.
  
  Hope this helps! Congrats on planning a family. <3

Hey! OK. I'll try to give you some insight!
(I'm also detoxing right now, as i'm also job hunting. Yay for us ;)

Are you using anything to help you detox, aka pills or fiber or something?
Here's what I use: (and it's all natural)



Detox Pills

OR

Ultimate Cleanse

For these next two, what I do is mix them together in a glass of cranberry juice in the morning and at night, following the directions on the label of starting small and slowly increasing the amount. For short periods (which I would do right at the beginning, for a few days) you can do use the bentonite like 5 times a day (so use it without the pysllium in the afternoon), then cut back to once in the morning, once at night again.

Bentonite

Pysllium

Both of these combined = a lot of fiber and cleansing. You may get constipated, you may be pooping a lot. I wouldn't recommend doing them both for the first time, at the same time. Try the bentonite and psyllium first, do it for 5 days or so, then the pills.

1. There isn't a way to really speed up the process, it's more like you just want to hit it HARD. Drink water, no trees or booze, exercise are all great. Employing detox methods like the ones I mentioned above can help kick it in the pants.
   
   
2. I've been able to pass a test within 2 weeks by cutting out all bud and doing this regime + lots of water, general exercise, eating well, etc. I have never been a very heavy smoker (I'm 5'6, 150lb, smoke 1/8th a month). So, take that for what it's worth.
   
   
3. I think less fat = faster metabolism, and less room for stuff to stick around. I know NOTHING, but I'd assume less fat would be a good thing.
   
   
4. While you're at the store getting those awesome detox supplies I recommended or looking on amazon, pick up some melatonin, and maybe some other natural sleep meds. Melatonin is GREAT and has always helped me for short term sleep issues. Other sleep meds should definitely work, especially if you're never used them before. ;)
   
   Hope this helps girl!

Great post!

I'd like to add one thing about maintaining a clean/empty colon. Hell, before I get started, let's talk about the colon: it's basically the digestive "out box", where the stool rests when it's done being processed by the body and waiting to be passed. For a lot of people, the colon will naturally be empty or close to empty for most of the day, and anal prep can be as simple as checking (or simply feeling) whether your colon is empty or not. As Dan Savage says: you wouldn't perform oral with a mouth full of food, so don't try anal with an ass full of shit!

One way to help keep things moving smoothly is to eat the right mix of fiber. I have found that it's not just any old fiber - it's gotta be the right mix of soluble and insoluble fiber. Famous "good digestion foods such as apples and oatmeal qualify, but these foods also come packaged as a meal (with calories, carbs, sugars, etc) and may not be appealing for everyone. One non-nutritive option that I love is psyllium husk. This stuff is basically pure fiber, and its mix of soluble/insoluble fiber is just perfect for awesome digestion. Basically, if you eat the right amount of this stuff, your BMs will be perfect and it makes it so that you basically don't have to wipe! It promotes your colon going from full to totally empty, with little or nothing left behind. Even if you do want to douche before anal sex, I think this stuff will help most people be even cleaner.

Anyone interested in taking psyllium husk can buy it as Metamucil (which is filled with sugar to make it taste better; I don't recommend this) or buy the husks themselves to mix into a shake. You can also buy capsules, though you have to swallow like 6-8 per day to get the right dose. Regardless, I'd say just 5 g (or maybe 10 g) per day of fiber from psyllium will help you maintain a cleaner colon. Just make sure to keep hydrated while you start out on it since fiber can soak up water to some degree.

I had the same reaction when I did that math. Eye-opening, to say the least.

For the smoothie, you can mix it up, but I go with this basic scheme every day:

1-2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder

1-2 tablespoons of ground flax meal

a handful of fresh spinach (trust me, you won't taste it, but it adds a LOT of nutrients)

a cup or so of frozen fruit of your choice. I have used almost everything I can find: pineapple, banana, strawberries, blueberries, apples, pears, peaches, etc. If I can't find it frozen, I buy a bunch of whatever fruit is on sale, cut it up and freeze it myself.

Fill it up with a liquid of your choice to make sure it blends well - I use unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk because it's low calorie and I'm trying to lose weight, but I've also tried orange juice, drinkable yogurt, kefir, and other such things. You can use whatever liquid you want though.

And that's it. Blend it up into smoothie form and enjoy. One caveat: drink/eat it quickly and with a glass of water - the psyllium husk absorbs a ton of liquid and it can be a little thicker than you want if you let it sit for more than 20-30 minutes. The fiber takes up volume in your stomach as it absorbs water, it keeps you ahem regular, and everything in the recipe is so nutrient dense that it gives your body a lot to chew on, so to speak. A lot of the ingredients for these smoothies come off of this list the ANDI scale which is a rough guide to how much nutrition you get per calorie out of certain foods. Higher scores = more nutrient density = higher efficiency diet.

Disclaimer: if it works for you, awesome! If not, try something else, or meet with a nutritionist. I used the advice of a health counselor service I get through work, but if you go to any Whole Foods, you can schedule an appointment with their "healthy eating specialist" for free, and they can be remarkably helpful.

Hi- I wanted to chime in here because I am a physician and I am also a lady and struggle with the same thing. A lot of time when we are "bloated" from eating and drinking we call it "water weight" and there is some truth to that, but if you want to get down to the nitty-gritty, a big part of the weight gain is actually poop. Yeah I said it. Poop. Seriously. When you eat a bunch of fatty, salty foods that are outside your norm, your gut can get a little backed up from this. This makes us feel bloated and puffy. To take care of business and get back to normal, I would recommend a psyllium fiber supplement- I mix about a tablespoon or two with a splash of OJ and then fill the rest of the cup with water. I give it a good mix and then drink it down. This is NOT a laxative, simply a nice big dose of fiber. This helps your body add bulk and draw water into the stool. You will eliminate the bloat after a nice, big... ahem, well you get the idea. Hope this helps!! This is the one I use

I recommend taking a soluble fiber, such as Psyllium Husk or Acaica Senegal!

They expand to ~10x their dry-volume in water (e.g. - in your stomach) & they slow digestion.

Effect: More full + full longer (win + win)

Dosage: I take ~5-10g/Fiber with a meal (this depends on the size of the meal and how much water I'm drinking - bigger meal = more fiber), usually 2x daily. Works great for me and my wife.

Tips: Drink extra water when you take soluble fibers; they absorb a lot of water. I'd recommend ~2oz water/1g of fiber.

No idea if this is safe for you, but it works for me. Only side effects are if I take too much Ash it can cause itching. I've also gotten a bottle of it before (different brand) that made me itchy as fuck.

If anyone out there has suggestions or improvements, happy to take them!

Wow thank you for the indepth answer! Didn't realise that it was possible to overdouche or that I knew so little about my own body so thank you for that information.

Looking on amazon, I've found this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/BULK-POWDERS-Psyllium-Powder-Soluble-x/dp/B00IZD3KWY) which seems to be the husks already in powder form; would using this be just as good as using actual husks that I would blend myself?

If so, how would you recommend taking it? Put it in a glass of water and down it? Mix it into food?

Thank you for your advice, its super helpful and also really reassuring that I won't need to go to a doctor instantly and that theres something I can try at home first.

I did! Their response wasANT very helpful:

Hi, I'm late to the party on this thread so I hope someone gets a chance to read this. Cravings have always been a big problem for me so I do a lot of things. In general I try eat a near ketosis diet (/r/keto for more info) staying away from fast absorbing carbs in general keeps my appetite down. Next biggest thing I do is I buy bulk Psyllium fiber and gluccomannan and put them in a nice easy open container and spoon out a teaspoon with meals and a tablespoon with very low fiber meals (it's mixed in water and then you have to drink it really fast). This helps me from over eating. I also do lots of things like drink water when I'm hungry and leave raw whole walnuts and almonds in jars on my counter so I'm tempted to eat a few throughout the day. Another thing that helps with the cravings is baby carrots a little more expensive by I don't have to get a knife and cut carrots up which makes me eat more. I also throw a few carrots on the side of my plate with every meal. In general as well I try to eat tons of healthy fats through out the day. I like avocado, tuna, I'll have some coconut oil in my protein shakes as well. I've found if I skip meals I then over eat on the next meal which causes insulin spikes which set me up for a three day roller coaster of overeating so I don't skip meals! Hope this helps!

Edit: I also supplement with cod liver oil which I think seems to help!

My first year, I was up 2-3 times a night, and when I mentioned this to my surgeon at the time of my annual check up, he said “take an Imodium before bed.” So I started doing that and got it down to once a night. I’m still up and going once a night, but it’s needing to pee that wakes me up...and it’s just easier to go ahead and evacuate while I’m at it 😉

As for your second question, I soiled myself in the middle of the night 2-3 times in the past 2 1/2 years, but not full on shit myself. When it happened, it was typically the result of being extra reckless with eating/drinking whatever I want, subsequently having a lot of gas churning around while I’m asleep, and my body letting it pass...with me discovering in the morning it wasn’t all gas LOL

Are you taking any fiber supplements like Metamucil? My surgeon recommended I take it with every meal because it slows down the digestive tract, and it really does work. I hate the powder and take the capsules, and because I’m cheap I get a generic from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OW2KS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DSHSDbWE5W5ZT. My surgeon wants me to take it 3x a day (once before every meal) but I’m lazy and typically only do it when eating some I know will mess me up, like salad! It does a good job of firming things up from watery diarrhea to an oatmeal consistency, which means less trips to the bathrooms do leas chance of any gas being accompanied by leakage. Hope that helps!

OP listen to /u/crazyherb. Psyllium husks. This shit is amazing and your shit will be too.

Those fancy flavoured ones in the supplement store in big plastic bottles are expensive, and may even be packed in individual sachets which jacks the price up even more. Psyllium husk capsules are also expensive and the quantity is way too little to really make a difference.

Go to a natural food store or amazon and buy it in bulk, unflavoured, cheap. No need to get those processed into powder or drink mixes or whatever. Just get the whole husks. Single ingredient. Mix into dilute vegetable or fruit juice for palability if you don't like the taste in plain water.

If you let it sit for a couple of minutes afer mixing it thickens up, which might make swallowing harder but I have a (scientifically unfounded) feeling that it makes it more effective.


Start with 1 heaping tablespoon full in a glass of water/juice twice a day. Drink lots of water throughout the day. Do this together with a well balanced diet with lots of whole foods and vegetables and I hope you will feel much better soon.

Not trying to imply that you're lactose intolerant, but consider trying to give up dairy for a couple of weeks and see how you feel. Won't hurt you at all if nothing happens, but might give you surprising results.

Sample link for whole psyllium husks

I take the recommended dose every morning. But I would start out with 1 tablespoon to a good pint of water or juice. Do that for a week and then kick up to 2 tablespoons.

From time to time I won't take it for about a week or two just to let everything go back to normal.

These images should give you and idea of what it's about.

I order it from Amazon. But word from the wise, don't waste your time or money with the pills or anything else. Brand is your own choosing, but always make sure it is "Whole Husk". There are also other supplements that I have heard people having better success with as well.

Not that these can cure it, but they may help symptoms till you can get a game plan or find a good doctor to help. Hopefully adding good bacteria with probiotics can take up more real estate then the bad guys and feeding the good bacteria with a prebiotic soluble fiber like psyllium husk can help them thrive. Cutting out the sugar should hinder the bad bacteria food source. Just something to try for cheap till you can figure some fix out.

So if you're trying to add mass/strength, your biggest concern with going vegetarian is probably going to be getting enough protein. I try to take in like ~200g/day. You can calculate what you need here.

I personally get most of my protein from protein shakes. I use pea protein exclusively, this brand. Unfortunately, it comes from China but I can't pass on the price point. I also add peanut flour, cocoa powder, bananas, flax seed meal (good source of omega-3's), psyllium husk fiber (helps to slow down digestion of protein), BCAA's, creatine, and beta-alanine all in almond milk. The reason for some of those supplements can be found here.

Thanks to the fiber and the flax seed, it gets super thick almost like pudding if you let it sit. Usually, I'll mix in cold brewed coffee to get the consistency I want. It's really good. I drink like ~48 ounces a day, every day. Still have yet to get tired of it.

As far as recipes go, I try to eat high protein meals usually with beans/legumes and quinoa. I use tofu or tempeh as meat substitutes quite a bit too. I eat a lot of chili and curries. My instant pot (pressure cooker) is always getting used.

I also supplement with this multivitamin.

In response to the anti-protein focus comment, I guess I would say that I eat at a calorie deficit so it's hard to hit my protein targets unless I supplement. However, you should still count your macros at least at first to make sure you're getting in the range of where you should be.

Yep, this was happening to me every weekend after eating super clean Monday thru Friday and then eating one "cheat" meal out Saturday night/Sunday brunch. Anything high fat would go right through me and high carb would constipate me for a day or two.

I happened to be visiting my parents and my dad (who lost about 50 lbs in the last couple years by eating healthy and walking) said he'd had the same issue when he started eating healthier, and recommended that I look at my fiber and probiotic intake. The idea is that your gut bacteria is accustomed to working a certain way on the days you eat very healthy - they get very efficient at processing veggies, simple foods, etc. Then you throw a wrench in everything by eating a ton of carbs or a high fat meal, and your stomach starts freaking out and wondering how it's going to process this meal that it forgot how to process. Your body just goes in to panic mode and wants to get the stuff out of you as soon as possible.

For me, the only way to avoid the instant gut punch after eating a meal out, is:

• Obviously, try to make a better choice of what to eat. I'm not saying I never eat "bad" when I eat out, but instead of the fatty pork belly, maybe I should choose the dryer, leaner lemongrass pork. That sort of compromise. Know your triggers.
  
  
• Take two psyllium husk capsules, like these, per day (more on days I am fasting/dieting and don't get as much fiber through my food)
  
  
• Take a daily probiotic (with at least 1 billion+ organisms) to help build up healthy bacteria in your gut
  
  
  
  Since adding these two daily supplements I feel like I've got a little bit of a "cushion" in my stomach when I eat - I no longer have to rush home right after every Saturday night cheat meal. There are still trigger foods that I know I just shouldn't eat because they are WAY too fatty or sweet, but the supplements have allowed me to eat a little more liberally every once in a while, which is nice when you don't want your diet to take over your entire life!

Try taking Psyllium Husk before you go to bed. I use 3 tablespoons mixed with orange juice (recently switched to lemon juice and water to cut down on the sugar.) I used to have perpetual mud-shit as well, despite my substantial fiber intake. Now my shits have satisfying bulk and there's very little wiping involved. The mud-shit is encased in the mucilage formed by the Psyllium Husk; the Husk is not digested and has a purely mechanical action in the body. It is perfectly safe and can also help reduce cholesterol levels.

Such. Satisfying. Shits.

edit: Use plenty of water/juice when mixing the husk. Mix with a little liquid initially to form a sludge at the bottom of your glass, then mix with the rest of the liquid. This prevents caking/dust. Good technique with hot chocolate as well. Staying well hydrated throughout the day helps immensely.

I don't think you're allergic. When you change diets your gut has to get accustomed to the new food and how it'll process it. This same thing happened to me when I started eating 90% clean - BUT keep in mind - it will also happen when you have a great, healthy diet and then allow yourself cheat meal every once in a while.


Something I've found that helps: take a probiotic/acidophilus every day (get one that has at least a billion cultures or else it's not worth it) and get a bottle of psyllium husk capsules (fiber) like this one - https://www.amazon.com/PSYLLIUM-HUSK-CAPSULES-Supplement-Constipation/dp/B0129RR1D0/ref=sr_1_23_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1467037955&sr=1-23&keywords=psyllium+husk

The probiotic will help your gut function and the fiber helps keep you regular and gets your body used to a regular flow of fiber. Think of these two things as a "cushion" in your gut, so that a bunch of fiber-filled veggies or a big plate of fatty food won't make you feel as terrible afterward

Hijacking because this is the top comment. My wife went from grudgingly occasionally allowing anal, to demanding it, begging for it, wanting to be butt fucked nearly ever time we have sex. The biggest change was the lube we used, after years of using cheap grocery store (like KY) and cheap Adam and Eve junk we finally found a great lube that works. Sliquid Sassy this stuff is amazing, water based so it's safe for condoms and toys, glycerine free so it won't get sticky, and it washes away pretty easily.

Other than the HUGE improvement that the lube made, I would suggest good digestive care, use a Fiber supplement Psyllium Husk is easy and cheap if you don't mind fairly big pills.

Finally, butt hygene, we use a bidet in our home, it's weird at first but once you get used to it you will never want to go back to TP again. Wife also uses an enema bag to clean up before a full blown butt fuck session. I can't speak to that except to say that we have never experienced any "accidents" after she's used the enema.

Good luck, the wife is totally into butt stuff all the time and now has literal SCREAMING orgasms from it. Wishing the same to you!

I buy this. I'll sometimes put it in a protein shake, but my go-to method with this stuff is making it into a delicious pancake. Mix one egg per 1 rounded teaspoon of this stuff. I'll make a big pancake with 3 of each ingredients. I eat it either with Walden Farm's no calorie no carb syrup, or I'll make a peanut butter (organic) and avocado mixture spread. It's awesome and it helps me.

You also could just try to drink more coffee. That usually helps, as well.

I am very sorry you have to go through this :( If it makes you feel any better, I feel your embarrassment. I have sweating issues. I sweat more than most people and pretty much no deodorant works for me. I've even tried prescription antiperspirant that burnt my armpits. It embarasses me greatly but isnt enough to be a medical condition.. so. You're not alone. Anyways! Back to you!

Did you know they make fiber pills?

NOW Psyllium Husk 500 mg,500 Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OW2KS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_484OCb6K8BRPB

I bought those a month ago and I've been taking 6 a day. 3 with lunch and 3 with dinner. It helps you poop and when you wipe, your butt is pretty much already clean. You do have to drink a bottle of water with them though or risk constipation. For me, I just take the pills and down the water as fast as I can. I HATE drinking water but these pills make me drink more than ever.

Some tips that have helped me drink more water: invest in a 32oz water bottle. When you wake up, down a standard size (16oz) bottle of water. When you're at work, drink a full 32oz bottle of water. After work, drink another standard size bottle of water. Drink more if you can but if not, this should be plenty to sustain your body. I drink flavored water in my 32oz bottle at work to encourage me even more.

Also, have you heard of PooPourri? I haven't used it, but maybe you should look into it! I've heard nothing but rave reviews. You spray it into the toilet before you go and then after you flush, it makes the room smell amazing.

Yes it happened to me. I say "happened" because I have found a solution.

A little background first. I have had "watery stool" pretty much all of keto (~18 months) and before I started Keto when I was eating badly. I don't know if it is due to some form of IBS (probably) or whatever, but it wasn't so bad that I just had to get it checked out.

I started IF this year and I noticed that after every meal (only 2 meals) I had pure water coming out of my ass almost. Like clockwork. I do eat veggies some and am not doing a full zero carb diet or anything. But I did notice that I wasn't getting much soluble fiber (veggies seem to be mostly insoluble which doesn't slow down the works).

Anyway, I was tired of this pattern messing up my plans of having to actually go places and do work after lunch (but I wanted to keep fasting). Anyway, did some reading and decided to try a fiber supplement first. I had some old fiber I had in my desk from early in Keto. I had trouble mixing it and I didn't like the taste, so I gave up on it early on, plus it didn't help. Anyway, I still didn't like it and it barely helped.

Long story short, I came upon Psyllium husk powder link and tried it. I've been on it about a month now maybe.

After some experimenting with dose timing, I started taking one TBSP mixed in about 32oz of water WITH or a few mins BEFORE my meal. I also mix it with crystal light so it doesn't taste like I'm eating mud. With the crystal light, it's honestly no issue to drink it. DRINK IT FAST THOUGH! If you wait too long, this stuff will turn into a sludge and it becomes much harder to drink.

It may take some time for your body to adjust to this, in terms of changing your bowel, but it has for me. I stopped having to go in the afternoon after lunch. I pretty much go one time after dinner now. The stool is more firm but still not hard. I would describe it as "fluffy". Much more pleasant experience.

Someone else said "more fat" but I think it's the fat the caused my problem. This stuff, when taken with a meal, seems to soak up some of that stuff in your stomach, intestine and keeps the liquid from flowing down so fast. After you've been on it a while, it finally starts to work thru your full digestive system and regulates everything.

I haven't noticed that many side effects. The only ones I've seen are I've started farting again (whether this is bad, only others can say) and once in a while, I will get some stomach rumbling as things settle after a meal or approaching my daily movement. Nothing painful, but I can usually tell when things are ready to move. I don't really see this as a negative either.

Anyway, maybe you should check it out. I read that you should get 25-35g of fiber a day, and especially on keto, I was getting nowhere near that. Especially soluble since it comes mostly from fruit. With 2 doses of this a day, I can get pretty close to the goal.

I'm not guaranteeing results, it just worked for me. For about $20 (counting buying the crystal light) it's probably worth trying. Also something to consider, there is some buzz around gut bacteria and things like that. While I don't know all that much about it, some of the beneficial bacteria that feeds off carbs likely dies out when on keto. This stuff can rekindle some of that bacteria and theoretically re-balance that system. Probably should do some of your own research if you want to know more. I'm no expert.

EDIT it also helps you feel quite full after you drink it, so it can help you possibly cut down on the calories in your meals and make hitting macros more attainable.

That sounds like a pretty good deal, how what's the quantity of psyllium/cap?

Best things/deals I found online: (but i don't know if these are good brands/if that even matters)

I was told by my doctor 2-3 times daily. I eat a lot of fiber and that helps, but there's something with the PPIs that messes with the consistency of my stools. I take this supplement and it helps too.

My life changed when I started using fiber pills. I personally use these, Psyllium Husk Capsules, to help keep things solid and stay "cleaner." Give it a shot!

Also, don't sweat it too much. A good top shouldn't worry too much about it being squeaky clean up there. All you can do is try your best to prepare and whatever happens, happens.

I'd just rather take something from a bottle lol like these for example. I'm looking for a Pure For Men substitute because I'm trying to cut on expenses..

I'm from Mexico, border with Texas, so I have access to HEB, Walmart, Costco, Target, etc. so something from there would be really helpful lol THANKS!

Hey, I'm like you with that almond flour...

Try swapping 1 TBSP of Almond Flour for 1 TBSP of 0 carb cookies and cream (or any other flavor that goes well with chocolate) protein powder.

Swap 1 TBSP of the Unsweetened Coco Powder for another 1 TBSP of 0 carb cookies and cream protein powder

Swap 2 TSP Coconut Flour for 2 TSP Psyllium Husks.

Go from 1.5 TBSP of splenda to 2 TBSP to retain the sweetness.

You have suddenly made that 7g into like 1.8g and you jacked the fiber up by a LOT...they taste delicious (I double this recipe and eat it for dinner sometimes)

Looks like you have thoroughly researched keto.

Avoiding heavily processed foods is generally a good thing. Of course, time and budget may limit some people's ability to do it.

Losing 10+ pounds has a huge positive influence on your health. This positive influence may outweigh the negative influence of a few extra nitrates. As you near your goal weight, it may make more sense to focus more on avoiding processed foods.

I've lost 45+ pounds in six months even though dairy is a fairly big part of my diet. I eat heavy cream, cheese, homemade yogurt (low-sugar, high-fat), and butter. If you limit your dairy intake to dairy from grass-fed cows, you'll even increase your intake of omega 3 fatty acids which is a good thing.

With dairy, let your diet progress guide your intake. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary.

Add potassium, magnesium, and sodium to your list of supplements to keep your electrolytes balanced. Also, take a B12 / folic acid supplement to keep levels of homocysteine under control. Fish oil is more effective per gram than flaxseed oil. Read this link for details http://www.health.harvard.edu/fhg/updates/Why-not-flaxseed-oil.shtml

1 gram of net carb to get 3 grams of fiber sounds like too much. For example, psyllium powder has 7 grams of fiber for every gram of carbs. http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Psyllium-Powder-24-Ounce/dp/B002RWUNYM

Also, magnesium supplements will help to keep you regular. I don't supplement with extra fiber and seem to do okay. Again, different people may have different results.

Raw vegetables are better. As for cooking, steaming is probably better than boiling since fewer vitamins and minerals would be leached out. However, heat is the thing that denatures water-soluable vitamins. This link has some useful information. It claims that the fat-soluable vitamins aren't damaged as much by heat - http://healthyonraw.com/does-cooking-destroy-nutrients-in-vegetables/

Nutrition labels can be misleading because any carbs / serving that are less than 1 gram are rounded down to 0. The calories per serving can help you to work backward and discover the amount of calories that may be due to carbs. Protein has 4 calories per gram and fat is 9 calories per gram (MCT oil is 7 calories per gram). Take the calories per serving and subtract 4P and 9F to find the calories due to carbs. Divide the result by 4 to find the grams of carbs. Of course, protein and fat grams are rounded as well which will affect the result.

Some people report no problems with artificial sweeteners. Some can't tolerate them at all. Some are okay with some, but not others. Try to see what works for you. Best is to avoid them altogether if you can manage to do so.

Good plan to avoid exceptions. They will derail you if you let them.

I've had similar symptoms. You might find that psyllium husk helps firm things up. It's sometimes marketed as a laxative but as someone whose main IBS symptom is diarrhea I found it made my poo a lot more solid, and it can even make me tend toward constipation if I take too much. I take 1-2 tablespoons a day, mixed into oatmeal or soy yogurt - it tastes better that way than with water.

As the other person says, loperamide is also helpful. I usually take 1-2 pills a few hours before I need to go anywhere important. If I take them every day it can be a bit too much. Getting the right dosage seems to be very individual though.

Psyllium Husk capsules are great for promoting bowel movements. You can also get psyllium husk in powder form but I think it's way easier to take a couple capsules with a glass of water. Friendly tip - start slow and only take one or two per day, and drink plenty of water.

Sometimes when you cut you eat "volume" type foods, like all the fibrous veggies. Remember too much fiber can back you up.... Which is why some people have problems with quest bars. There are 2 types of fiber.


I take 3 fiber pills in the morning. This keeps me pretty regular, regardless of what I eat. But it has taken trial with my body to figure out what works.

Someone mentioned Smooth Move tea. This is great, but I wouldn't recommend it all the time. Other things that help me go is peppermint tea, or ginger tea (esp if I'm gassy). Kombucha also usually helps. Maybe you could try a pro-biotic. What do you eat at maintenance that you dont eat on a cut? Dairy?? Greek yogurt? Could be something as simple as that....

Psyllium Husks are the best thing that happened for me. I take one a day in the morning and I'm perfect for my afternoon runs. I only have to run into the woods like once every other month now versus once a week!

Hey! How cool! I recently bought psyllium husk from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Source-Naturals-Psyllium-Powder-Ounce/dp/B001G7R734/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1324576834&sr=8-5

With subscribe and save, it brought the cost down a few dollars.

It's amazing how much this stuff helps if taken every day with breakfast for me by just mixing it in water.

Are Metamucil capsules (Metamucil Multi-Health Fiber Capsules by Meta, 160 Count (Pack of 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7QVAE/) as effective as the original coarse mixin (Metamucil Multi-Health Fiber by Meta, Original Coarse Sugar 114 Teaspoons 29 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013I4WJS/)? Thanks in advance!

Psyllium husk is a lifesaver. Take 2 spoonfuls every day and you'll have the perfect poos. Even after a day of beer and fast food I didn't have any problems.

I got this huge thing of psyllium husks for only $16 and it lasts for months on end.

I'll third this comment. Whole Psyllium Husk makes you nice and regular...almost life changing and I'm not exaggerating. It's also good to take with water about 30 minutes before a meal to fill you up before you eat. Though a word of warning, it swells in water...great for filling up your stomach but if you let it sit it will swell up before you drink it and then you'll have to eat it like cream of wheat.

I recommend working your way up from 1 tablespoons to 2 then to 3...if you increase the dose too fast, your body biome won't acclimate properly and you'll get loose shits and instead of nice logs. The cheapest I've found is the Now Whole Psyllium Husk on Amazon.

I also use the Now Probiotic.. I'm now very regular with a good BM or two everyday and no more IBS or hemorrhoids.

I would definitely go powder to save money. This is the best deal I've came across so far. That should last you a while.

I take these, three capsules twice a day every day, and I am always good to go haha. Definitely recommend as a daily thing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BMQRQ3E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UmGQzbXEF0JB5

The first 15 seconds to Colon-Blo is pretty accessible and the song itself does a fantastic job of promoting fiber and recommending that one avoid dismemberment.

Here all the lyrics to help sing along:
>Sticking to the walls of your insides
A corrosive enzyme lives and breathes
only to be excreted
with help of fiber and balanced diet

>Tilting equilibrium
makes way for nausea
Rectal muscle gives way
flooding down your leg

>Enhanced nutrition
sliding right through the body
No time to digest
Colon bursts out the chest

>Sickening stench
of methane and bile
Colon blows like a rubber hose
the sweet odor invades your nose

>Trying to grab your gasmask
sometimes an uneasy task
when your pubis is dismembered from your abdomen

Even better than an enema (and safer/healthier) are fiber tablets like these. If you take these things consistently you'll be much cleaner down there. The fiber binds together your poo so you can evacuate it more easily when you go #2 without leaving any residue behind. Trust me, it works.

If you drink any kind of shake, I would recommend switching over to the NOW Psyllium Husk Powder and just mixing it in to your drink.

You'll save a bunch of money over the capsules. I think a normal serving is like 9g (7g fiber) and there are like 75 servings in that bag for $12. Occasionally Amazon will have them for under $10 a bag.

DO NOT get the raw husks that haven't been powdered. They are like drinking gummy rice husks.

Psyllium husk powder
Basically soluble fiber - moves things along in the GI tract and makes for the best poops ever. Learned about it from reddit somewhere and it is awesome. We refer to the period before we were taking it every day to 'the dark times'.

Want to add fiber to your diet? I was taking psyllium husk powder for a while as a fiber supplement. It has a grain flavor and the texture isn't the best but it's pretty cheap and it works.

This is not the kind I was taking but it's similar. 24 ounce would last a long time. Make sure you mix with a full glass of water and it does get stuck pretty well to whatever you mix it in, so I recommend using (and reusing) a plastic cup and spoon until they get too gross. Then throw away. You can add it to other foods too, but I prefer just chugging it. I would take 1teaspoon a day.

The reason I don't take a fiber supplement anymore is because I eat plenty of fiber now, but this stuff really works!

Cut out the MCT for a week and see how it goes. While getting fat adapted a lot of people get diarrhea, MCT is only going to compound that issue. Back off of it for now, then once fat adapted try adding it back in slowly, if you need the extra calories. Bullet proof coffee is great for keto, but is a serious chunk of calories easily 300+ for most recipes. Make sure you are accounting for it in your calorie count as well.

Generally BP coffee is a meal replacement, or for people in maintenance on keto who struggle to get to maintenance calorie levels. If you are drinking a BP coffee with a meal for breakfast you are likely getting 800+ calories for breakfast, putting you way ahead on your calories for the day, going to be hard to stay under your maintenance calories.

At your stats your BMR is ~2000 calories, to sustain meaningful weight loss you will need to stay under 2000 calories. If your job is highly active you may get a total loss of 2500-3000, if it is more sedentary you could be as low as 2400. I would say with your stats you should be shooting for ~1800 calories a day. BP coffee is going to take up ~ 1/6th of that.

Get some Whole Psyllium husk to drink once a day to get your fiber up (I like this brand personally).

Sure! Here's what I've personally tried so far.

Sunergetic Brand. I've purchased this brand the most and it's what sold me on the supplement in the first place. Though, $20 might be steep for some people for only 240 capsules. (At four capsules a day, that's a 2-month supply.)

[NOW Foods](NOW Supplements, Psyllium Husk 700 mg, 180 Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MGR2T4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mriODbHPW9MF7). This is a well known brand and a good "try and see" option, imo. If you don't see the desired results, then you're only out $10 for 180 capsules, with Prime. The dosage is slightly lower, as well. They also offer a loose powder version that's excellent for keto baking recipes.

When I'm running low again, I think I'll see what's available outside of Amazon. I haven't checked GNC or Vitamin Shoppe, but I'm hoping they might offer something that's more .mg-per-pill at a reasonable price. I should warn you that these capsules are not small, and four of them in one sitting can be un-fun if you're less than a stellar pill-swallower.

Most of the bottle instructions will tell you: Always chase with an entire glass of water!

Hey there, I found relief for this annoying eating every 3 hours merry go round so I thought I’d check back in....I ordered these fiber pills from Amazon as suggested from my doctor after complaining to her about the whole situation, explaining my diet and also (this may be TMI) complaining a bit about side effects from taking my daily migraine preventives (little stomach aches in mornings).

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0013OW2KS/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I NO LONGER have to eat every 3 hours and eat when I am hungry like a normal person as long as I take 3 pills with each meal with a nice big glass of water. It has become such a relief to not be constantly worried and stressed about eating all the time!!

Here are some different bread recipes. The flax bread is most like real bread, and I'm told it toasts, but takes a while longer than normal bread. I made great grilled cheese sandwiches with it. The protein bread is another one that I've made several times, sometimes as a dill seed bread, it is a bit spongy, but I've toasted it, it's still a bit chewy in the middle, not a hard crackery bread, but has a crispness.

Have you tried taking Psyllium Husk before you go to bed? I use 1 heaping tablespoon mixed with orange juice. I used to have perpetual constipation and mud-shit despite my substantial fiber intake. Now, my shits have satisfying bulk and there's very little wiping involved. The mud-shit is encased in the mucilage formed by the Psyllium Husk; the Husk is not digested and has a purely mechanical action in the body. It is perfectly safe and can also help reduce cholesterol levels.

When I say a lot of liquid I mean a lot, like, find the biggest glass you own (maybe plastic to compensate for the vigorous stirring without cracking glass) put the heaping tablespoon in the bottom and stir vigorously as you pour.

After a while I was going through too much orange juice, so I switched to adding a glug of straight lemon juice to the bottom with my Husk and pour water whilst stirring vigorously. It basically tastes like pulpy lemon water which is not the best flavor but if you give it a go and see what kind of awesome shits you're capable of you'll commit to this unpleasant moment in your evening and it'll become part of your life. The days that I plow through half a pizza, for example, and don't drink my Husk I revert to shit that looks like it was extruded from the Soft Serve machine.

I buy the generic stuff too. It's totally fine.

These are the ones I get. 500 caps for the price of 240 caps of metamucil at the drug store. Free shipping if you have prime / live in the US, etc. Hope this helps.

Best supplement I added was for fiber. Psyllium Husk is amazing. It takes 3-4 days before it starts taking effect but man best dumps ever.

I just order this fiber supplement. It's pure psyllium, unlike Metamucil which is full of sugar (including the sugar-free version).

For vitamins, I take a Centrum and I don't even take it every day. I eat 95% my carbs from plant sources, so I mostly get what I need and the vitamin pill's only there to make up the difference, not be the main source.

I have been taking a combo vitamin-D/calcium pill. There's not much sun these days and I don't eat that much dairy, so I think it's important to supplement these.

Fish oil's pretty good too, but it's expensive. I prefer to spend the money on fresh fish, personally.

Hello,

I do 20:4 and I notice that my "poops" vary from day to due (like others have said due to the fiber that I'm eating, and also due to how hydrated that I am). Sometimes I don't poop until I'm in my next feeding window the next day. Psylllium husk tabs are great, along with a bunch of water. These Tabs on Amazon aren't that bad of a deal!! https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Psyllium-Husk-500-Capsules/dp/B0013OW2KS?th=1

That sounds great. I'm gonna try ordering this and trying it in both recipes. http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Psyllium-Powder-24-Ounce/dp/B002RWUNYM/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407251246&sr=8-1&keywords=psyllium+husk+powder

I also realized i misspelled recipes in the title.....posting late causes some issues haha.

Yeah get a cheap psyllium husk. Like 15 grams per day. So, poop is more than food. It's also a lot metabolic waste from things like red blood cell death... Fiber helps it come out and not build up.



Also, reducing calories can cause digestive shutdown/slow down (this prevents a lot of calories from being burned). So, having something in there is beneficial no matter how you look at it.

Eating more fiber , and by extension taking a Fiber pill (and drinking lots of water) can help you to "pass more matter" therefore there's less left behind and therefore less mess . A lot of people use "Metamucil " or "Pure For Men" or even switch to a higher fiber diet . Fiber will NOT take place of douching 100% but it can help a lot . You should give it a shot . I use this one it's much cheaper than the other brands . Just make sure you drink a LOT of water often and read the package to see how many to take

NOW Supplements, Psyllium Husk 500 mg, 500 Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OW2KS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_StI1Cb12NVDVN

Brand/type does matter. I've had the whole husk kind--the one where it's kind of grainy and that thickens a little (absorbs water), but the NOW Foods powder one definitely act differently being a finely milled powder like GlycoMaize. Check the reviews and you'll see people talking about slamming 'em down fast otherwise they get too thick to drink.

Thirded. I love this stuff.


This is the Psyllium Husk that I take: https://www.amazon.com/Foods-Psyllium-Husk-500mg-Vcaps/dp/B0013OW2KS/ref=sr_1_sc_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1469630184&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=cyllium+husk


I find that it works way better than Metamucil or Citrucel. However, you have to be careful when starting a fiber regimen. I currently take 3 pills with every meal, but it is best to start low and increase the amount of fiber you consume over a period of weeks to avoid unwanted bloating and cramping.

Do you know psyllium husk? There are psyllium husk tablets, and I have found that taking 2 in the morning with a BIG glass of water and 2 right before bed with a BIG glass of water can alleviate both constipation and diarrhea.

Here's an example of what I am talking about:

https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Psyllium-Husk-500-Capsules/dp/B0013OW2KS?th=1

Yep, the mud butt and shitting bricks can hit you at any time, but it really does get much better over time. I've done keto for well over a year, and now I could be the poster child for the Bristol Scat Scale.

Buy some psyllium husk you can get a pound or two for like $20 take 2 grams per day, and you won't have any constipation issues which it sounds like is your problem. Been taking 10 grams of kratom per day for over 3 years once I started doing that didn't have any more issues.

Psyllium Husk Powder; Psyllium Husk Fiber Powder for Baking Keto Bread, Easy Mixing Fiber Supplement for Promoting Regularity, Finely Ground & Non-GMO, 24 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011QGTRG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OHqQDbCDFPJMK

Along with all the other great advice, what's your diet like? Maybe try adding a little bit of fiber, specifically psyllium husk:

https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Psyllium-Husk-Powder-24-Ounce/dp/B002RWUNYM

​

It'll make you more regular and make things stick little less.

They make different ones, like flavored ones or ones that dissolve completely so you can't tell a taste or texture difference, but those usually have extra calories for the same amount of fiber.

This is the one I get: https://www.amazon.com/Yerba-Prima-Psyllium-Powder-Ounce/dp/B00012NG1W

It definitely makes the water thicker and it has kind of a nutty flavor to it, but I kind of like that. I'll usually drink it slowly over about 30 minutes in the evening. You really do need to make sure you drink alot of water with it though as the water makes the fiber swell, and it can be a choking hazard if you don't drink at least 8oz of water with it. Like I said, I usually mix it into at least 0.5L.

Have you ever tried psyllium husk capsules? You can buy them easily from Amazon, which would be the cheapest route. I took this, and my bowel movements became shockingly clean. Literally like one, two, maybe three wipes at most.

No matter how much regular fiber I was consuming (I eat a lot of whole grains, whole fruits, and vegetables), my bowel movements didn't compare to how clean they were when I was taking the psyllium husk capsules.

Those capsules are basically the same capsules you can find specifically targeted to gay men, albeit much cheaper.

My only real concern is how my body would hold up if I were to use that amount of psyllium husk fiber per day for a long period of time. What's weird is that some reputable companies will state that it's not for long term use, while other reputable companies will not have that warning label at all even though they have identical daily fiber intakes. After much research, it seems to me that companies that have higher doses of psyllium husk within fewer capsules have the warning while companies that have smaller doses of psyllium husk in more capsules don't have the warning. Downside of the latter is having to take more capsules per day, which would be annoying.

I did have one side effect from taking psyllium husk capsules, and that was pretty strong stomach pain, but that was due to not taking the recommended amount per day I believe. When I took the recommend dosage amount, the pain was nonexistent. What was really great was that I had no bloating at all as you might expect from a fiber pill. It seems to me that psyllium husk does not cause bloating because it doesn't release gases as it simply expands in your body and doesn't get digested by the bacteria.

So I was just thinking about poop today because, mannnn. When I eat psyllium husk I just have like, THE MOST satisfying poops ever.

[This] (https://www.amazon.com/Viva-Naturals-Organic-Psyllium-Powder/dp/B011QGTRG4/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_325_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=N8XY21DEK4XCZ0C0AS5Q) is the brand I use, I ate waffles yesterday for dinner.

It will take two days to kick in and you will be pooping like a champion.

https://smile.amazon.com/Foods-Psyllium-Husk-Powder-24-Ounce/dp/B002RWUNYM/ref=sr_1_13_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492552485&sr=8-13&keywords=whole%2Bpsyllium%2Bhusk&th=1

I drink a tbsp with lots of water and it reemerges like a beautiful butterfly about 18 hours later.

I got a bidet. Changed my life, no exaggeration. Wipe first for the big stuff, then use bidet fully, then wipe again one time to get the water off. My toilet paper usage is way down, and my butthole is never agitated and sore.

I also take soluble fiber pills to make it be normal coming out. It's no big deal to me like it is to you. Taking 3-6 of them a day is way easier than trying to incorporate some traditional food into my diet. The fact that it's soluble is fine. There is a definite difference in the solidness due to the fiber pills.

Edit: added a link to the bidet I got.

Same. The more aroused I am the easier it is. The husband is really great at combining foreplay with a gentle push pull motion until he's there. He always waits for me to give the go ahead (usually I just say, "fuck me" or something) before he starts pounding away.

I don't douche, I just pay attention when I poop. If I wipe clean the first time, I consider myself good to go. I am good to go 90% of the time since I take psyillum husk daily (though I dont take as much as it recommends).

Maybe it is because we've been together since highschool, but if I don't feel clean down there I will tell him I destroyed the toilet earlier that day lol.

Hey, thanks for that! The only thing that I can give you in return is that my Doc told me to mix some fiber w/ my Orange Juice at the end of my OMAD dinner and forget about bloating and cholesterol. Enjoy yourself.

Not really, and it's FANTASTIC for so many recipes because of how it works

Now Foods Psyllium Husk Powder, 24-Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RWUNYM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_K5zyxb1NNSTEY

I have basically the same exact story as you, also 6ft, 210 lbs, 20ish % bf. I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013OW2KS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 only to realize that their serving size was way smaller than I thought. They work fine, but it means taking 6 in the morning first thing and 6 at night before I go to bed, with a lot of water with each serving. It comes out to ~4g of fiber a day.

The recommended amount appears to be ~30g a day, so I don't know if this is actually helping or if it's just a placebo. I just realized that I didn't really answer your question, but this is what I've been doing.

Try using something like Benefiber or Metamucil. Alternatively, add high fiber veggies to your diet - things like spinach, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts etc.

this stuff from amazon

I take 3 capsules in morning and 3 at night with a glass of water or 2, it’s 500 capsules for 16 bucks so it lasts for like 70+ days lol

>Is it a terrible idea to take a laxative and drink mostly water and protein for a day to kind of "cleanse" (read: push all the shit out so to speak)?

this is useless, just add fiber to your diet for intestinal health. I use this. abd anything would work tho.

RAW is: everything except suits + knee wraps.

RAW+ : everything except suits


as /u/lottrbist_ said there are some specifications for the equipment to be considered raw. sbd and rehband sleeves both satisfy those specifications.

Psyllium husk is probably the cheapest, best calorie-to-fiber ratio supplement

• 150 g blanched almond flour (1.5 cup )
  
• 6 tbsp psyllium husk powder
  
• 1 tsp baking powder
  
• 1.5 tsp salt (I use .5 tsp of salt, this is WAY too much)
  
• 4 egg whites
  
• 120 ml boiling water
  
• oil for frying (about 1-2 tbsp)
  
  Recipe
  
  ​
  
  I've tried multiple recipes for tortilla wraps, and this held up the best. I make a batch every week or so and use it to make turkey wraps for lunch every day.

This worked the best for me.

> I have extremely irregular bowel movements.

I used to, then I started drinking metamucil every day and have been great ever since.

Psyllium Husk is also great for added fiber.

I got this not too long ago and it's great. I add it to my shakes when I think of it, 8g carbs 7g fiber. 2 shakes a day means half my fiber right there.

pooping is one of the most discussed topics on here. Most people will tell you to make sure you're drinking enough water, use a magnesium supplement, and try some psyllium husk powder (I use Yerba Prima) to boost your fiber intake without uping your Net Carbs. Hope you get it figured out, I know how miserable this problem can make things!

I get it off amazon! :) https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Psyllium-Husk-500-Capsules/dp/B0013OW2KS/ref=sr_1_5?crid=YRSV9RPQPWG2&keywords=psyllium+husk+capsules&qid=1549645066&sprefix=psy%2Caps%2C289&sr=8-5

This is the particular one that I get, honestly it's a little gross (probably the reason why people get metamucil instead) but oh the things we do for a good poop.

Pure is super overpriced, this does the exact same thing and it’s 15 dollars for almost 80 days of capsules

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0013OW2KS/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As others recommended, Psylium Husk pills and a probiotic should help with regularity.

It all depends on your tastes. I use apple juice for when I'm only taking fiber (psyllium husks) because it masks the "earth" flavor very well. If I'm replacing a meal, I simply mix it with my meal replacement and drink it all together. I use a larger 24ish oz shaker bottle filled to the brim with milk, almond milk, meal replacement and fiber. It's works wonders when I'm pressed for time in the morning. It won't last as long as something solid but it does the trick.

Psyllium husks can be found on amazon (now foods). It's primarily use is as a fiber, and a byproduct of that is fullness.

Yohimbe is commonly found in weight loss supplements, men's "virility" products, or ways to stay awake. I use it instead of caffeine because caffeine makes me jittery and anxious. Yohimbe does all the good for me and no bad. (also, anecdotal but... It works for bedroom performance pretty well).
Yohimbe "bark" contains yohimbine, the actual chemical. Don't go getting the HCL and put a scoop in your drink, because you'll most likely end up in the hospital. Yohimbine is usually in 5/10mg doses. Tiny amounts. Kills my appetite and hypes me up. Probably my most favored "drug".


Edit: psyllium husks and yohimbe have different purposes, but could be used together or at different times to help reduce hunger. I'm unsure if the fiber would or could affect absorption of yohimbe. Don't take fiber in pill form because you'd end up taking like 20 pills. Just use the powdered type (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002RWUNYM/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?qid=1456953026&sr=8-2&keywords=now+foods+psyllium+husk&pi=SY200_QL40) and you can probably pick up yohimbe at most drug stores in the vitamin area. If not you can amazon/Google that too.

Try this. Makes pooping fun! I mix/sprinkle this on just about anything.

OP have you tried taking fiber supplements, such as psyllium huskor bentonite clay? These seem to really help push things through while keeping it solid.

Right? Just take some of these with your other daily vitamins and then you’ll never be dirty again 😇

• Decent cheap sunglasses
  
• Soft sheets

try Psyllium husk if you haven't already

this stuff on amazon is cheap and just check the reviews, you know it works:

>Recently I embarked on a journey for the holiest of holies. The holy grail of bowel movements.

You can also try the Metamucil Psyllium wich has different stuff but costs a whole lot more.

You can also time your bowel movements, have intercourse in between them.

I also don't do full enemas since they bring the stuff that isn't well formed yet from deep in the intestine, I only use a few ounces of water to dislodge stuff and repeat 3-4 times until its clean.

Start taking this. A lot of gay people use it so that they're so regular they can have anal at any time without worrying about using an enema. This apparently gives poops that you don't even need to wipe. Hope this helps.

You're welcome.

In my opinion yes. It was not 'eggy' or 'cheesy' as I've heard others say, and the psyllium husk powder (the brand i used at least) did not have a 'funky' flavor to it.

Also a big part, as /u/sophiee said, the texture on these is spot on!

You could do what Littlefoodt said, or go the easy way and just buy the pills from Amazon

Something like this? It says 5 capsules 4 times daily lol...

> have added sugar?

What kind of monster would add sugar to something like this...

anyways... this is what I have used for quite some time

What would you recommend? I got one bottle I'm going through now as a baseline, I was planning on getting something like this when I'm out to see how it compares

psyllium husk powder. 1 spoonful in water before a meal makes a roll of TP last a month. only downside is your poo is so smooth and efficient you don't get a free 15 minutes at work to play on your phone.

I've been making "soft-serve" soylent for a while.
I discovered that adding ground psyllium husk significantly improves the texture.

Me too! I like the orange flavor.
This one.

If fiber isn't included in my total carb intake, I'm going to have a hard time bringing my total carbs down to 25g a day! :-(

Thanks for the husk advice - will something like this do?

This might help. :)

If you are looking for what I consider no calorie, high fiber yet no gassy side effects, and you are already getting enough nutrients-- I've been taking psyllium powder caplets and they work great as an inert filler. I take three in the morning with my breakfast and three pills in the evening with my dinner.

It keeps me from snacking because I don't feel hungry.

It is a byproduct ground up and shipped here from India. I get my caplets of the stuff from Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/Foods-Psyllium-Husk-500mg-Vcaps/dp/B0013OW2KS ).

I use green. It took about a week to for the constipation to start. I take Psyllium Husk Caps , which are basically ground up mushrooms in capsule form. They work really well for me.

Note that if you buy the pill form the dossage is really low. Each pill is about 1.5% of your daily fiber need so you'd need to take literally a handful each day to have some noticeable effect. The loose form (that you mix in with water) seems to allow you to easily take a bigger dosage.

Here's what I got. There are other sized bags (10lbs even) on there too, as well as powder and capsules.

These are what I take with my protein shake every morning. Highly recommend for rocket propelled one wipers.

Sorry, yeah, it's a powder.

This has been on my wish list for a while now, but haven't given a try yet.

It's not a flavoring or syrup per se, it's a fiber supplement. Here's an Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013I1H9G You can probably find a cheaper generic brand at any grocery store near you.

I take two or three psyllium husk capsules per meal, that I get from Amazon.

Here's some of the stuff I get/got from Amazon since starting Keto back in Sept of 13.

Psyllium Husk Capsules. They are my IBS life-saver. I get them from Amazon and take 2-4 caps a day. Cannot recommend them enough! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OW2KS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mNb5ybBSC0HST

I would also add some fiber for the sake of your bowels but really everyone I know who's tried to do liquid only gives up after a couple of weeks. It sounds really convenient, but you'll be surprised how much you miss real food. All-liquid meals never seem to make you feel full either, even when you're hitting all your macros.

I looked on amazon then cross referenced reviews on iherb and would go with this one (I haven't tried it but may in future based on reviews)
