Does anyone on /ck/ use this as a fiber digestion or as a part an ingredient in their cooking?
>>22071350>as a fiber digestion*as a fiber supplement for digestion.
I take as a supplement to add bulk to my stools because I love to shit. supposedly it's good for your heart but I can't confirm nor deny those claims, I just love to shit
>>22071355agreed. i barely even need to wipe anymore, it's awesome. i used to spend 10+ minutes wiping, nowadays I use like 2 squares and that's it. my anus is clean as a whistle.
do i need to be concerned about lead contamination in it?
>>22071457actually, yeah, kinda, since no amount of lead in the blood is considered truly safe. but unless you're a woman who's planning on getting pregnant, you're almost certainly going to be fine, unless you eat like 3 kg of psyllium husk per day (which would be a nightmare).
>>22071350works really well, tastes like cardboarddont eat too much or you will get the stomach ache of hell
>>22071350Yes, I take a heaping tablespoon of the Walmart (Great Value) brand orange flavored sugar-free psyllium husk every day.I almost always have daily 3's and 4's on the Bristol Stool Chart as long as I drink an adequate amount of water. When my stool very occasionally becomes a 1 on the stool chart I replace it with polyethylene glycol for one day and just one day and that always fixes me right up. Two days of PEG and your shit turns to a thick paste that requires like a dozen wipes and that's not fun.Adequate water intake is critical while taking psyllium fiber. With it, it will work like magic. Without it, it will constipate you more and you could end up with a blockage/bezoar.>>22071457No.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212619820300334>High WHC, ability to produce mucilage, the presence of soluble, and insoluble fiber and their interaction with divalent cations, make psyllium seed as a candidate for reducing the tissue uptake of lead (II) and increasing its fecal excretion, thereby alleviate the symptom of lead poisoning in mice.>The results indicated that psyllium increases the fecal excretion of lead and decrease its tissue absorption.You just poop the psyllium out. You don't absorb it. It actually decreases tissue absorption of lead in mice.Full PDF is available at https://www.academia.edu/119266185/Evaluating_the_potential_of_mucilaginous_seed_of_psyllium_Plantago_ovata_as_a_new_lead_biosorbentPic related is from PDF.Healthy mice fed psyllium powder had less lead in their tissue than healthy mice not fed psyllium powder.Healthy mice fed psyllium powder + lead had less lead in their tissue than healthy mice fed lead and no psyllium powder.tl;dr: The lead isn't an issue because you just poop psyllium out, and you'll have less lead inside your body if you take psyllium than if you don't.
>>22071533based in depth information poster, i love you so much
>>22071470why not just take the capsules?
>>22071546>i love you so muchno you don't, you just love the sex
>>22071555the capsules are giant and i cant swallow them
>>22071572you clearly don't take after your mother, anon
>>22071585that seems incorrect because if his mother did swallow, then >>22071572 wouldn't be here and we can be spared by his faggotry.
It is the only supplement I take and would really ever recommend. Dietary fiber is associated with several benefits including lowering LDL cholesterol, improving glycemic control, preventing colon cancer, and making your shit silky smooth and one-wipeable. When you start, ease into it. You will fart a ton. But the poos are gamechanging.
Why is every psyllium thread on /ck/ spammed with random posts about leadIts so insane. Like a tax you have to pay.Remember any number of top 50 medical outlets strongly recommending psyllium talk about lead? No, no one does.
>>22071350>Does anyone on /ck/ use this as a fiber digestion or as a part an ingredient in their cooking?I literally take 6 of these a day. Fiber is good for you.>>22071572>the capsules are giant and i cant swallow themI was the same way all the way into early adulthood (even trying to practice swallowing whole M&Ms made me choke), but I finally figured out if put them on your tongue then fill your mouth completely full of water (not just a little sip) and gulp all at once, the excess liquid acts like a barrier so don't feel any of the solids hit your throat and irritate your gag reflex. Give it a try some time.
>>22072034You know who else didn't worry about lead? The Romans. And where are they now?
Protip: The majority of the psyllium husk in the world is sourced from India and is heavily contaminated with lead. I strongly recommend seeking alternative sources of fiber in your diet.
>>22071355>>22071453You just love the feeling of hard turds sliding against your prostate gayboy
>>22072027This, I don't do vitamins or supplements really aside from C and Zinc on occasion, but I like to do daily psylium if I can. I already drink a lot of water so that's not been a problem, but I always feel wonderful after 3/4 days of psylium in a row - poops are great, I feel flushed out and less bloated, and often fuller. Good for thr heart and colon too
>>22072479In New Jersey.
>>22072490and you don't? fuck off back to 9gag you normie faggot
I use it in yoghurt, smoothies, pancakes, bread and make crackers with it. I used to take it raw with water but I did not get used to the disgusting taste.
>>22072936I am a manly man and prostate stimulation is haram.
>>22071350i take it daily, typically after dinner. i love it. massive bowl filling shits that fall out of me without any effort. No need to wipe. 5/5 stars would recommend
>>22073592>prostate stimulation is haram.so taking a satisfying shit is haram...go it gay boi
>>22072034only this specific plant, out of all the plants that we consume, take up lead from contaminated soils. no other plants do this. only this one.
