I take Psyllum Husk capsules daily - it is fiber and works as fiber does. ;)

Some people take the fiber and drink it in water - I prefer the capsules.

Pokey, I moved this to the Nutrition / Supplements forum. You'll find a few posts in here about psyllium and fiber. The one below is one of the more comprehensive, explaing the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber (of which psyllium contains both).

Psyllium husk powder? (http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50868&highlight=psyllium+AND+soluble)
