Very informative video. I learned much from this video so many thanks. It was 2 different doctors that told me to take Psyllium such a Metamucel and I have Diverticulosis. But I never liked the idea of drinking it in plain water either until I was diagnosed with diabetes. Then I started reading where I can use it in baking, soups, coffee, milk, tea and a whole bunch of other foods. So now I'm using Psyllium to help control my diabetes and so far it is working.

I have been taking psyllium husks for over 10 years DAILY. The benefits are so many and diverse. It helps me to control long years of hemorrhoids effectively. Recently, I found out it also helps controlling my URIC ACID levels, due to its ability to absorb and metabolise fructose efficiently as a soluble fiber. As it also improves gut health and promote digestion, it helps the body manage and excrete uric acid more efficiently.

@applegal3058 2 жыл бұрын

I eat a lot of fibre, drink a lot of water and exercise everyday. Still for 41 years of my life so far I've been constipated and cycling between constipation, diarrhea and painful gas pins. I started taking 2/3rds daily recommended dose of Metamucil these past few days, and it has helped so greatly in making me regular. Like I said, I typically eat a diet high in fibre-rich foods, so I never had any bad side effects with this larger dose, plus I always drink another glass off water after taking it (I normally drink a couple of glasses of water at each meal anyways). I think I'll be taking this everyday now to continue going to the washroom each day and maybe finally feel normal.

Dr. Lustig talks about how critical prebiotic gut health is. Without it, probiotics can't work. Prebiotic health (feeding the good bacteria) in the colon is key to metabolic health, which is real health care as opposed to treating the symptoms of underlying disease. Psyllium slows digestion, which means the early digestion of the sugars and carbs does not go to and overwhelm the liver, becoming stored energy in the form of organ surrounding fat, which is killer fat. This is from my Dr. Lustig notes: "Eight chronic diseases that have taken over modern medicine. Type 2 diabetes, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, Cardiovascular disease, Cancer, Dementia, fatty liver, and polycystic ovarian. None are curable and account for 75% of all healthcare costs. None of them have a treatment, but all are preventable. We are treating the symptoms but not the cause."

@cnetate 3 жыл бұрын

Are you drinking enough water? Make sure to drink plenty of water. We're you more regular before taking psyllium? How long have you been taking it? Fiber feeds your gut bacteria so if you are lacking in bacteria, you should add a good probiotic for a little bit and eat some grass fed, sugar free yogurt mixed with chia seeds. I personally take about 6-8 grams per day in the powder form. The capcules may be your problem.
