    I do, but I prefer pills made from inulin, even though they're much more expensive. Psyllium makes me feel bloated and gives me gas. :/

    I just know this is gonna be TMI

    Yes...i have a tablespoon in a glass of juice. I dont suffer from constipation as such (hard crumbly painful) but my body is happy to go once or twice a week at best with very little coming out compared to how much has gone in. I figured it can't be good for me to have the waste sitting inside of me for 4-7 days.

    Yes I do! I use Nature Sunshine (Cascara Sagrada pills and Psyllium Husk) every other day and it's wonderful. Not only does it help you clean your colon, but you stomach feels much better ! I highly recommend it, specially if you don't eat food high in fiber. Been using it for over 15yrs!
