Due to frequent and inconvenient diarrhea (IBS-d), I have been trying some whole psyllium husk in small quantities. For background, I take Janumet, which includes metformin at breakfast and at dinner time for diabetes. The metformin has been the primary contributor to my diarrhea, which mostly seems to occur at around 1 pm and later daily. And I did have a morning blowout a couple of weeks ago.
So far, the whole psyllium husk has been helpful and I have been diarrhea free. I have been using a half teaspoon's worth once a day with extra hydration. Today I didn't take any and remain good, though I expect that my condition will return.
Anyone else using Psyllium Husk? Any ways to make it more palatable for consumption? I have been just taking it with a glass of spring water, though I have tried mixing it with juices with mixed taste results.
