For those of you who have had good results from psyllium seed, does it matter if you take the powder or take pills? I'm taking slippery elm powder and l-glutanine powder right now and don't know if I can force down another powdered drink.

I try to combine all that gross stuff into one yummy drink ;-)

just remember tho, let the psyllium sit too long in the glass, and you'll be drinking a brick !

I put slippery elm and psilium powder into the same large glass of water. They set up the same way if you don't drink it right away and taste the same.

I just pills with a meal, works for me.

I use the powder. One teaspoon for a small glass of water, three times a day after a meal. I don't take other powdered supplements. I am the same way though, I decided to go with the powder because I can't stand swallowing any more pills.

I made the mistake of buying powder without asking this question first! So kudos for asking before just buying things!

My vote is pills! It's so much easier and convenient. Not sure about the cost difference but once my powder runs out I'm switching over to pills. I'm too lazy to buy empty pill capsules and fill them up right now.

Drinking it was so gross, so I found a recipe to make it into cookies. SO much better (and I am horribly picky).
