Benefits of Psyllium Husk Seeds -
Does This Fiber Powder Work?

psyllium huskPsyllium husk is a well-known fiber supplement and it is made from the plant Plantago ovata.

It usually comes in powder or capsule form. I myself have never seen the capsule form but I'm sure they are out there ;-).

Psyllium seeds swell 10-20 times their size when they come in contact with water. That's why you should drink plenty of water if you're taking a fiber supplement.

This increase in size helps get your stomach moving.

Psyllium acts as a sponge, sucking up toxins and helping the friendly bacteria in your stomach!

Some benefits include:

  • Helps against constipation
  • Acts as a lubricant
  • Lowers cholesterol
  • Cleanses the colon
  • Helps with blood pressure
  • Safe laxative
  • May help with weight loss
  • Treat stomach and intestinal ulcers
  • Good against heartburn

There are times when you should be careful and consult your doctor before trying this supplement.

For example if you...

  • Are pregnant
  • Are under 7 years old
  • Have diabetes
  • Have had stomach problems before
  • Have difficulty swallowing

Psyllium fiber is in the FDA pregnancy category B. Which basically means that it is unlikely to harm your baby. But check with your doctor anyway!

 

My Experiences

I use psyllium when I am on a fast or when I am feeling constipated. And it works great for me.

My overall experience with psyllium has been very safe.

My worst experiences have been mild rumbling in the stomach and having to run to the bathroom a few times more than usual :)

I also sometimes get a mild sensation in my head, but it's nothing to worry about. It feels more like I just woke up and it passes quickly.

My bowel movements are a solid 2-3 even sometimes 4 a day since I did a colon cleansing program. My favorite is the colon cleanser by DrFloras.
