What is it psyllium<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Psyllium<\/strong> is a form of fiber made from the seed husks of the Plantago ovata plant. It sometimes goes by the name ispaghula.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is best known as a laxative. However, research shows that taking psyllium<\/strong> It is beneficial for many parts of the human body, including the heart and pancreas.<\/p>\n

Psyllium | Your bathroom friend<\/h2>\n

Psyllium<\/strong> It is a bulk-forming laxative. This means that it absorbs water in the intestines and makes bowel movements much easier. It also helps promote regularity without increasing flatulence. It can be used as a stand-alone to ease constipation, or it can be added to your diet to help promote regularity and overall digestive health.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

People with irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease are all too familiar with bathroom bans. The results of studies on the effectiveness of psyllium<\/strong> in the treatment of these conditions are still mixed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some research has shown that consuming 7.9 grams of psyllium<\/strong> per day (+\/- 3.6 grams) with probiotics is a safe and effective way to treat Crohn's disease. However, other results show soluble fiber as psyllium<\/strong> may worsen symptoms for some people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to keeping your bowel movements regular and managing a chronic condition, the psyllium<\/strong> has the ability to soften your stool. This can be helpful with short-term conditions such as constipation. Used in this way, it can prevent complications of constipation such as hemorrhoids and anal fissures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Preliminary research shows that the psyllium<\/strong> may help with the painful symptoms associated with these conditions. Since there is no real scientific consensus, talk to your doctor to see if psyllium<\/strong> can help you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psyllium | Heart Health<\/h3>\n

Research has shown that taking soluble fiber can help people manage their cholesterol levels. Proper cholesterol regulation is important for everyone, but vital for people over 50. One study shows that at least 6 weeks of daily intake of psyllium<\/strong> It is an effective way for people who are obese or overweight to reduce cholesterol with few side effects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you've been told you need to watch your cholesterol, ask your doctor if adding psyllium<\/strong> a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet will help you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

High cholesterol is just one way a poor diet affects your heart. Numerous studies have shown that fiber like psyllium<\/strong>, taken as part of a healthy diet, can help reduce a person's risk of heart disease. Psyllium<\/strong> can affect your heart by lowering blood pressure, improving lipid levels, and strengthening the heart muscle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psyllium | Watching your weight<\/h4>\n

Maintaining a healthy weight is a concern for many people, especially those with a chronic condition like diabetes. In addition to being good for your heart and blood sugar levels, psyllium<\/strong> can help you lose weight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the psyllium<\/strong> absorbs fluid into your body, it can help give you a feeling of fullness. This can help you control how much food you eat. Talk to your doctor about taking psyllium<\/strong> if they suggested you lose weight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psyllium | Diabetes<\/h5>\n

People with diabetes are constantly watching their diet to maintain a healthy balance of insulin and blood sugar (glucose). Some research has suggested that fibers such as psyllium<\/strong> can help people maintain a healthy glycemic balance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One study found that taking 5 grams of psyllium<\/strong> twice a day may help patients with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar. Another study of men with type 2 diabetes found similar results, but emphasized that therapy with psyllium<\/strong> must be adapted to the individual.<\/p>\n

Psyllium | How can I get psyllium?<\/h6>\n

Psyllium<\/strong> It is most commonly consumed in powder or wafer form. It is also available in capsule, granule, and liquid form. It is the main ingredient in many over-the-counter laxatives, including:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Metamucil<\/p>\n
