It's good idea to email to [email protected] , me thinks she can advise you where you can buy it

actually she has her website, unluckily its TH script http://www.pennapa.com/

Dr. Pennapa Subcharoen is Deputy Director-General, Department for Development of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand.

It's overpriced, but General Nutrition Center (GNC) on Silom carry big buckets of the stuff.

I must admit I was thinking along different lines...

I had to google for psyllium to find out what it actually is and does...

To the OP... don't worry about your psyllium... there is a Thai dish called pud puk bung fie daeng (well, that's how it sounds anyway), and it is absolutely delicious... stir fried morning glory in oyster sauce, garlic, and of course chillies.

The stuff, whilst extremely tasty, is totally indigestible... and once it passes through your stomach and reaches your colon, will proceed to wrap itself around whatever may be in there and drag it out your nether opening...

No problems...

I'd rather use a suppository. At least I don't have to eat it. And there is little waiting time

Brought some back from oz at $5 a 200g bag.......product of India (where it all comes from apparently.)

Any health food store should carry it.
