Hi

Just bought this from holland and barrat just wondering what quantities everyone else takes?
Do you all take 6 capsules a day? Seems like a lot considering the lack of food

Its good to take that amount because of the lack of food They are good to take before a problems starts, not once you have a problem though.

This is an excellent thread http://www.minimins.com/very-low-calorie-diets/1343-fao-lesley-psyllium-husk-post.html

 

Thanks

 

Great thread thanks all my questions answered

 

I bought the regucol I think it's called it was 9.99 but it was in the penny sale so you can buy one get one for 1p (2 tubs for a tenner.) It says take 2 heaped tea spoons twice a day and it works fine for me xx

 

Yeah I got the psyllium in the penny sale too

 

I got it in the penny sale too but today has seemed to have the opposite affect!

Oh dear that's not good

 

Why are you buying/using these? Is it because the frequency changed, or because you don't feel right?

I am asking because although my habits dramatically changed, I am putting this on the small amount of food and since I don't feel bad or "full", I don't bother. Should I?

 

Thats the stuff I got... in powder form.
I only used one teaspoon in soup yesterday.
I will have that amount for a couple of days, and if nothing improves I will use 2 tsps

I got them because I had an incredably runny tummy that was driving me mad.

Psyllium husk can help both constipation and the diarohhea(sp).
I guess if you dont suffer from either there may be no point in using it, but it really is a personal decision, as to use/not use.
The link posted by Divster is excellent and well worth a read, as it helps explain things much better than I could

I take 2 tablets with a large glass of water an hour before my last shake of the day, and it really helps! No constipation for me on this diet as yet, where as on Cambridge, I had issues!
