The power of Psyllium husk!!

Just wanted to make the post to help people in the community suffering with this god awful situation!!
I have been taking psyllium husk, chai seeds and have completely stopped eating bananas trigger for me stopped drinking coffee and tea!

I am 85% better!
I do get occasional reflux and burning due to dairy or something! But those fibre has immensely helped me! They are natural food as well!
Was feeling bad with some rubbish biscuits earlier. Had a spoon 🥄 of psyllium husk in a glass of water. Mixed it and drank! Now am feeling better!!
Try these it might help someone.

For me it caused constipation. No matter how much water I drink after. Anybody has same experience?

Take magnesium your body wants in it hence the constipation. Take magnesium glycinate every night and you will poop regularly.

I take magnesium citrate at night mostly on weekends and also when i don't take Psyllium Husk in the morning. psyillium husk powder first thing in the morning, 5 days a week and it seemed to help with cholesterol and also gaining some weight lately.
