If your stool is too soft and watery (diarrhea) psyllium husk absorbs it and bulks it up. Insoluble fiber doesn’t mix with water but it does work as a bulking agent and appears to help stools pass faster and easier. It has other benefits too but more on that later. Soluble fiber absorbs water creating a gel-like substance which then regulates softness/hardness of your stool. Psyllium husk is soluble fiber but what’s exactly the difference between the two? Soluble fiber Healthy diet contains both soluble and insoluble fiber.
There are two types of fiber – soluble and insoluble. Something that might have benefited me might be harmful for you! In this article I’m sharing my own experiences. Before using any type of supplements or medication you have to ask for your doctor’s advice/approval/opinion. After reading about people’s experience with this Psyllium Husk it almost seemed too good to be true but I knew one thing – I have to try it! So I bought two types of psyllum husk: Now Foods Psyllium Husk Powder and Now Foods Psyllium Husk Capsules (700 mg with Apple Pectin). It didn’t take long to come across Psyllium Husk which is a dietary fiber from Plantago seeds. I started searching online for another alternatives. Was it because of my conditions combined with aging? Was it because of my depression? Maybe because I had resorted to a very sedentary lifestyle due to different reasons (work, depression, etc.)? All I knew I wasn’t fixing any underlying problems and I started to become even more concerned about stool softeners being my only solution. My bowel movements didn’t return to what they used to be. When I would go days (or sometimes more than a week) without a bowel movement they would always fix the issue. For most of my life it wasn’t much of an issue though as I could usually avoid unpleasant symptoms by just eating clean however for the past few years I have started to experience constipation which has brought a whole new set of issues.įor a while stool softeners were my saviour. As someone with celiac disease and IBS I have never had a great digestive system.
