If you’ve ever heard of Metamucil, that’s just psyllium husk in a powder form and it’s not just for old people. Adding some of this to your daily routine has a ton of benefits. I tried to write a few sentences explaining the benefits but they all turn out like shit.

    Came here to mention inulin as a great fiber supplement in addition to psyllium husk. Fixing my gut changed my life, the direct impacts for me on mood, well-being, inflammation, and overall health cannot be overstated.

      Does inulin give you bad bloating and flatulence or is it only me? Half a teaspoon will do that to me. Although, the benefits of improved movement outweigh the negatives.

        That happened for me at first, so I reduced the amount. Now I mix it into my homemade bread and don’t notice it at all!
