Reply to "Special Diet"

Since psyllium works mechanically, it’s likely to work best if taken with food. I don’t think there’s any evidence of it appreciably decreasing the nutritional value of food. It’s best spaced away from medicines, though it’s not an aggressive binder of medications like, for example, cholestyramine is. J-pouchers do not have super-quick digestion, though we do have reduced transit time. Digestion is completed almost entirely in the small bowel, and J-pouchers have close-to-normal small bowels (until the last bit).
