This is really great for adding some more fibre into your diet. I don't like mixing it in water because it becomes rather gooey, so I eat the husks plain and drink water to take it down.

I must admit that this is great to add to bread doughs, pizza crust and many more. But it is a bit pricey.

Beware! Not the real thing! When psyllium husk comes in contact with water, it swells and forms a gelatin-like-mass that helps transport waste through the intestinal tract. With this product, you will notice a small amount of gelatin when added to water but it is way less than it should be. I had to use up to 4 teaspoons twice a day for it to start to make a difference. Other products (e.g. the one from NOW foods) are significantly better and a single teaspoon twice a day works. I went for this product since it is cheap - I regret it and have switched back to the NOW foods brand which is much better and actually works.

I tried the psyllium husk & bentonite clay gut cleanse drink but my tum didn't seem to like it, felt uncomfortable / bloated / full. I think i'll rather try it by adding little bits to foods / baked goods etc

Always great to have on hand in your pantry for those gluten free breads and pastry recipes. Also makes a good back-up breakfast, if you're needing extra fibre.
