Intolerance to Psyllium Husk??

Hi all,

Has anyone had an intolerance to Psyllium Husk?

I have been doing very well for the last month, and put this down to Psyllium Husk which I started taking at the end of Feb.

All of a sudden, in the last 10 days, I seem to be flaring with loose / mucusy BM's.

My diet has not changed in this time, and I am eating safe, bland foods which normally do not give me any problems.

So, could the Psyllium be the culprit, and has my Colon suddenly taken offence to it??

I would be grateful for any thoughts..

it's possible your body decided it wasn't working - eliminate it for a week or 2, don't change anything else and see what happens -

good luck -

Thank you all.

I am taking the Natural Psyllium Husk Powder. I take 2 teaspoons mid morning mixed with water, and 2 tea spoons at night before sleeping.. I will stop for a week or so and see what happens.

The only other trigger for this flare could be work stress. I cannot believe it is food, as I am eating very safe natural foods.

I will see the doc about rectals as have never been prescribed these.

I seem unable to maintain a remission for longer than a month or so.. Lets hope this one clears up fast..

Hi all, I have reached a conclusion to my question. I am not intolerant of Psyllium Husk. I have been having a flare these last 2 weeks or so, probably brought on by work stress.

It is very frustrating that I cannot maintain a remission. I seem to get well for 1 month and then sick the next month.. 1 step forward 1 step back..

Thank you. I am waiting for a follow up with the doc.
