@Liset A posted:Hello FRH,
Thank you so much for your information, about the Psyllium Husk, I also like the one with no extra fillers, I use the NOW brand. My concern about this issue started when I talked to the lady in charge of the health food section at my grocery store, she mentioned that I should wait at least 2 house before I eat or take any medicine because it wont be absorbed properly. Since our digestion is super quick, we can't afford to waste any nutrients.
I also found this information from WedMD :
https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/...k-fibre-oral/details
"This product may decrease the absorption of other medications you may be taking. Take this product at least 2 hours from your other medications. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information or if you have any questions."
So the question is when is a good time/amount for us pouchers.
Also, I would like to know what do you use to make your smoothie? I was trying green vegetables juice but had to stop, it didn't agree with my pouch.
Take care!

@Liset A - I have never had luck with raw fruits and vegetables but green smoothies work great for me.
Every morning I take a recommended dose of plain psyllium husk powder with orange juice and some greens powder. Then after that I make a green smoothie with orange juice, banana, spinach, frozen strawberries, frozen raspberries, frozen blueberries, frozen mango and protein powder. Probably the meal that I tolerate best each day and it keeps me full at least until lunch if not longer.
Just in case I also take Forvia chewable multivitamins everyday to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients.
