Psyllium husks are indigestible and are a source of soluble dietary fibre. They expand when added to liquid and are used to relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and diarrhea. Psyllium is also used in gluten free baking, where the ground husks bind moisture and help make breads less crumbly.
About Susan Joy
I've battled with Chronic Fatty Liver Disease, an Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (Hashimoto's), Arthritis and digestive issues for many years. I decided to conduct my own research on what food choices could help my conditions. These choices culminate under what is termed a Paleo Lifestyle. I live in Perth, Western Australia with my husband of over 49 years. I'm the author of The JOYful Table cookbook, A JOYful Christmas, The JOYful Table 5-week Meal Plan and The Paleo Bread Cookbook.
