onlycw Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 A friend brought me 2 x 200 grams for like 160 THB for both from India. It does soften stool and returns regularity. Personally, I'm convinced that it also aids i. a boost in one's metabolism and ii. weight loss. Just sharing - 80% remains what you eat, 20% is the fitness regiment you follow. Drink before you eat as we often confuse thirst with hunger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 aka Sat-i-Sabgol Take it with yoghurt and it will stop up even the most extreme dysentery. I learned about it decades ago when living in India. I cannot exaggerate how much it helped me. Still comes in the same box with the old-time telephone logo.

TheJayMan Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I have a Psyllium Husk drink almost every morning. The fiber is good for the intestines. It helps healthy bacteria grow and also helps food move through the intestines to keep things clean. People on a high fiber diet are less likely to develop Diverticulosis.

bendejo Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 In India they say take it with milk and it works as a laxative, mix it with yoghurt and it does the opposite. The latter definitely worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UbonThani Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Is fiber really good for you? Jury out on that one. The Masai were warriors without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and they drink unpasteurised milk laced with blood freshly got from cutting the vein in the cow's neck. Not a diet I think I'll start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a diet I think I'll start You can buy liver and pigs blood easy enough or eat lightly cooked beef. I used to buy all these high fiber stuff. In hindsight a total waste of money. The benefits seem to be grossly exaggerated by industry funded studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
