Oh, I should point out that the symptoms I'm talking about occur

in the 1-2 hours right after taking an antifungal. If that's not

what she's getting from probiotics, then I'm not sure this would help.

> ====Yes, that is when we see them about an hour or two after

taking the probiotic. What brand of psyllium do you use?

I use Konsyl brand (sold in drugstores or online). I didn't feel

that Yerba Prima was " clean " (smells and tastes weird) and NOW foods

" Whole Psyllium Husks " required a much larger dose to get the same

grams of fiber. I think those are the only ones I've tried.

IF I may interject

Whole foods makes an organic " Smooth Move Brand " psyllium that i have

found to work very well. It does say its Psyllium Whole Husks

though....I think the Yerba Prima has rancidity issues if this is the

brand I am thinking of.

Thanks, . I've seen this and glad to be reminded of it as

it is organic. I will take a look at the label next time I'm in

Whole Foods and maybe will give it a try.

Have you ever used the capsules? And are you at all concerned about

developing a dependency on this product?

I haven't used the capsules, I mix the powder into water. But I've

bought capsules for my husband and he finds them more convenient.

I'm not concerned about dependency on a bulk laxative. It is simply

a food fiber and not even a large quantity of fiber. It is the

stimulant laxatives (herbal or drug) that can lead to dependency.

I actually dropped the psyllium for quite a few months this past

year (because I didn't require it anymore after I started taking

enough bile support) and I had no problems of " withdrawal " or the

like. Well, maybe that was because of the bile support, hard to

say. I've only added it back recently because I am having die-off

problems.

> I have read somethings on a site called Fiber Menace that reports

that fiber is not good for the digestion in some way that I fail to

understand.

Well, I took a look at that site. It didn't seem to have much real

information content that I could see.

Before I started taking fiber many years ago (at least 8 years),

I did look into it a little and decided it was perfectly fine.

There would likely be more research available now and I have not

looked at it. My experience with taking psyllium has certainly

been positive.
