Guest guest Posted March 9, 1999 Report Share Posted March 9, 1999 I think the statement that all psyllium products are pesticide contaminated is a broad generalization. I truly believe in keeping the colon clean in dealing with my Leukemia. I called the company that supplies the fiber I use. It has 29 different fiber sources with the base being psyllium. They claim they always use organic if possible. Many products from other countries cannot be certified, so they always check everything coming in for pesticide residues and reject anything not completely clean. I'm sure there are other great sources available. Check your source and continue with the psyllium.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I eat a lot of fiber in vegetables too, and bran, but there's something in the inulin (though I have chicory coffee that has naturally occuring inulin) that I can't handle, and now I can't take whey either. I haven't a clue! Maybe it's the candida's effect on the brain.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Vicky: I'm in the same boat I can't take either Whey or Inulin and I don't know why. And I've had bad reactions to so many things I can't even remember what happened when I took these two items.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 do those of you with leaky gut take digestive enzymes? That was the only way I could eat fiber (veggies) without having massive bloating and cramping. Now I'm to the point that I only need them if I'm eating lot of veggies, or a big salad, other than that I feel back to " normal " . In the beginning I was popping those enzymes like they were candy! > > > > > > Hi Guys: > > > > > > Boy did I have a reaction yesterday from taking just 1 teaspoon > > Psyllium in > > > water - nothing else. > > > > > > It felt like I was " poisoned " and I suppose that is the toxins from > > the > > > yeast. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I don't get bloating or gas except when I'm having die-off and I don't take digestive enzymes. Zinc is supposed to be a helpful supplement for this. I do steam the heck out of my veggies though. I eat large amounts of veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc. with no gas.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I'm wondering about people's opinions of psyllium... I'm using the husk and I find that it helps. I went off it for a while and started to feel more pain and get constipated (not sure why). I don't know how safe it is to use for long-term though. And I don't know if stopping it caused me to feel worse but maybe it has to do with toxins not being cleared. So what are the positives and negatives of psyllium? Should it be used with bentonite clay? And how long is it safe to take psyllium? Thanks, Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I use that exact same product, only I sprinkle it on my salad at night so I don't even know it's there!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Psyllium also scrapes the intestines as a colon cleanse, and in so doing it disrupts the imbedding and propagating of probiotics!

Are these ok for candida? Thanks Doug ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
