Comment on YSK that the recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA. 95% of the country does not meet this amount.

Psyllium husk is a really affordable way to add fiber, just BE AWARE OF DOSAGE, when they say TEASPOON. THEY MEAN IT!

What this person means is that IF YOU OVERDO IT YOU WILL SHIT YOUR BRAINS OUT AND IT WILL BE AN EMERGENCY.

  That’s not really the concern. It’s just bulk. As long as it is well hydrated when you consume it, it’s very inert and you can’t really have too much. If it’s still partially dry, it’ll jam you up until it sucks enough water out of you, so that’s no good.

  But that first purge feels so healthy though!

    Ironically if you don’t take enough water with it, you’ll get constipated. It’s used for treating both.
