Psyllium Reviews

Show: for
Helps bind up the diarrhea, and I also use it if IBS is acting up regardless of diarrhea or constipation
Seems to work well when taken on a regular basis, I ran out and bought a generic brand, I just worked like a laxative and I was miserable and haven't gone back to by the real stuff. I think if Align doesn't work I'll go back to it for sure, it's a hell of a lot cheaper!
I LOVE Citricel No Excess Gas Fiber!
condition improved less distention
metamucil helps me by normalizing the bowel.
bloating. do nothing to ease the pain.
Fantastic with almond & lynseed
I use the 1 mixed with probitics I think it helps as i'm on long term antibotics for lungs
I do take this and seems to help at times.
Never know when it will "happen!"
