Re: Recipes against constipation - psyllium

[Guest guest]

Hi Kris,

I'm way past surgery & recovery now, so it's not an issue for me. But

I do supplement my breakfast cereal with psyllium (when I have time

to eat it, that's why I like the bran wafers, because I can easily

grab them and have them as part of my lunch). I forget the brand

name, but the company that makes Bran buds up here also makes them

with psyllium. I just sprinkle a handful over my cereal of choice.

They do print a caution on the back of the package, though, for

people who work in the health care profession. Apparently exposure to

psyllium through work can cause one to develop an allergy to it.

Thanks for the tip, though. I'm sure someone will benefit from it.
