(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best psyllium nutritional supplements

If you're not getting enough fiber...

Try this fiber brand https://www.amazon.com/KONSYL-PHARMACEUTICALS-Original-Formula-Ounce/dp/B00QIZMY00/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1483316586&sr=8-1&keywords=psyllium+konsyl

I have Crohn's and have tried every fiber available - this is by far my favorite. Mix it with a hand blender and drink ASAP as it will become a lot harder to drink as it absorbed water.

It's like drinking sand but works by far the best.

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!

Awesome, thanks for your suggestion.

Any info on this guy? https://www.amazon.ca/Yupik-Organic-Psyllium-Powder-95-Percent/dp/B01CYDO0WO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499436244&sr=8-1&keywords=psyllium+husk

I got it from Amazon and it's a lot. http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00JDOAKRM/

There's a bread recipe I use it in too, that mostly is just nuts and seeds, and the psyllium husks hold it together. It's a little on the higher carb side in general (about 10g per slice) but really great if you're craving something nutty and hearty: https://food52.com/blog/10575-my-new-roots-life-changing-loaf-of-bread

cheaper alternative to metamucil is to just buy the psyllium husk powder. its sugar free as well (compared to some metamucil products) and significantly cheaper.

2 teaspoons a day and you'll be fine. you need fiber, thats all.

Even with ample water and eating lots of fibrous veggies, I've always had issues. It's necessary for me to supplement whole psyllium husks. I've gotten it off Amazon and iHerb. I take 2 servings daily a few hours before bedtime, which is about 14g fiber. It really helps keep me regular and the poops are fantastic. Feel so clean and very minimal wiping.

Welcome!

Also if you're an irregular streamer, might I suggest a product that would help?

I get mine from Amazon. May ship internationally idk.

US Amazon has less listings but this is pretty much what you're after.

Honestly, the stuff is amazing. Just be warned, it thickens A LOT.

Everyone says wet wipes/baby wipes but you won't even need those if you start using this - http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Shoppe-Psyllium-Powder-powder/dp/B00012NCK2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371022226&sr=8-1&keywords=vitamin+shoppe+husk

One wipe only and it will be a very clean wipe at that.

Psyllium husk powder has worked AMAZINGLY for me. Watch a couple videos on how to drink it cause there is a bit of catch. But it has other health benefits as well.

Can I use this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003OVHHDA/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

I have tons, as I use it to help regulate my movements.

I use This

It's only $5 and you can get it on Amazon or Vitamin Shoppe.

I've heard very good thinks about taking Psyllium Husk along with acidophilus daily. I don't have Crohns, but I have had bowel issues since I was a little kid. I've had massive stomach aches, pains, cramps, gas etc until I started taking those two supplements. Vitamine Shoppe has this supplement together, http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Shoppe-Psyllium-Acidophilus-capsules/dp/B00012NG9E

Dude, when I started taking this supplement I saw amazing results. My gas went away. My shits are easier and smoother. My stomach aches are gone. I don't get cramps, I don't get pains. I take 5 pills, 3x a day with water. Please let me know if you have had experience with this.

Metamucil and barring that, this shit: https://www.amazon.com/Telephone-Sat-isabgol-psyllium-200-Gram-Boxes/dp/B003OVHHDA

I poop like clockwork

Excellent question it is psyllium husk powder. I believe you could purchase psyllium husks and powder them yourself but it's not expensive to buy it pre-powdered. I buy mine off amazon and have found it to be handy in multiple keto recipes.

Oh bro (or bra) I can totally help you out here. Been suffering for the last month and a half. It's cost me about three weeks in the gym and making work literal torture. But I'm so good now. Sweet relief is just around the corner for you friend!

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED. I'm not recommending this stuff to you. I'm commanding you. Nine grams of fiber in a serving, holy hell. Go to a hi-health, or a Sprouts, or probably any grocery store, and buy that Psillyium Husk. You're also going to want something flavored to mix with it. I will take this with either my cookies and cream protein shake, or with my orange flavored BCAAs. If you mix it with something flavored, it completely covers up the taste, you'll just have to deal with the texture. Also, start eating more fruit and veggies. Get that fiber.

But yeah, buy that stuff, get some unscented wet wipes, and wipe with those as much as possible to keep friction down. ALSO, my Squatty Potty has changed the way I poop. Literally like one-third of the shits that I take are foot longs, at least. Sorry for the awful visual, but they are one-wipe footlongs. That's like a fucking unicorn, and I'm producing them at an unreal rate thanks to Psillyium Husk and the Squatty Potty.

If that shit keeps up, though, go see a doctor.

You can buy fiber, just make sure they're not loaded with other bs in them. I returned some metamucil because they added sugar to the mix for some stupid reason.

Like this: http://www.amazon.com/Indus-Organics-Psyllium-Premium-Freshly/dp/B00VSGKVUE/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1456949074&sr=8-1&keywords=100+psyllium+husk+fiber+powder

Heaping tablespoons. This is the stuff I take

I got my on amazon.ca

it's basically just fiber. you may be able to get something else that's tasteless, and just a fiber filler.

Carbquick.
You can also use Whey Protein and Psyllium Husk Powder in bread recipes.

>I nabbed a fiber bar for fiber

What are the ingredients? Some artificial sweeteners cause this. I would skip the bars and try whole psyllium husk.

I think it's the flakes. I get isabgol at the local Indian market: http://www.amazon.com/Telephone-Sat-isabgol-psyllium-200-Gram-Boxes/dp/B003OVHHDA

If it's been going on for years, then you need a cleanse. Start with the above product. Research it and you'll see why I'm recommending it.

Same deal when I lost weight a couple years back. This stuff is a game changer. http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Organic-Psyllium-12-Ounce/dp/B002N0H38C/ref=pd_sim_121_6?ie=UTF8&dpID=41my0lo7-KL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR92%2C160_&refRID=1RSV2ACZ5324Y7KCXESC

I takeYerba Prima psyllium husk capsules every day (no gb) and I rarely get the shits unless I drink alot or eat junk food. They also have a powder, that's cheaper but tastes like shit.

A teaspoon of this a day and you'll be doing daily smooth ghost shits.

So this may be more of a PSA than anything else, but is added to my ever growing list of 'things you should not do without paying full attention':

So I recently ordered some psyllium husk as high protein + inconsistent fiber intake is a recipe for occasional trouble internally.

So today I was making a post-workout shake while responding to work email on my phone, and just looked at the box quick to double check the serving size as that was how i already had it logged previously in my tracking, and I always add my shake ingredients while the blender container is on the food scale. Somewhere in the 10 sec between confirming what was on the box, and actually adding to the blender, my mind went 'yeah 20g, thats right' ... but its 5g, 20 cal... lets just say i had to go back and add an additional cup and a half of almond milk to my tracking in order to thin out the mix enough (cause I mean, I wasn't about to throw it out when its already blended up) to get it down.

Upside is, for anyone worried about not feeling full when drinking calories, I found an answer for that... I think dinner is going to be much later than normal

Hairy dude here...

just going to say if you're having this problem, don't just try to mask it by buying diff toilet paper. You're probably not getting enough fiber. Buy a (small) pack of this. Try 3 spoonfuls (in your water) daily, for a week. Having messy shits is a sign of not having enough fiber, and that can cause digestive problems later in life.
