Have you tried some peppermint tea? Sometimes that clears me out.Ive cut my phsillium husk back to one teaspoon a day as I got blocked up over the new year and my stools were hard but now they are more watery.if you read on the internet the side effects of to much phsillium husk it says bloating,gas ,cramps and constipation and can cause blockages if not enough fluid is taken.
