Psyllium Fiber

[Bvrly08]

meron na bang pumayat or limiit ang tummy/puson sa pag take nito? how long before you saw results?

[Ilove_hubby]

ang C-Lium parang P2 per cap lang siya. 

sis effective ba yung capsule?
parang mas effective sakin dati yung husk mismo
within 30mins of drinking nung husk mismo, feeling bloated na ko kagad
pero sa capsule di ko naramdaman yung epekto
so ang tendency, kumain ako ng marami then after 2 hours dun sya umepekto
so feeling sobrang busog na busog ako na feeling masusuka na sa kabusugan

im taking the psyllium fiber capsules from Healthy Options. once or twice a day lang. lagi kc ako constipated. so far every day na ako punta ng CR.

parang a bit confusing, it says you need to drink lots of water pag nagtake nito para maging ok BM, e diba it's the same, you have to drink lots of water too to prevent constipation, so parang kahit walang psyllium, as long as you are drinking the same amount of water whether you're taking psyllium or not , you'll have ok BM.. does it make sense?

[imogen888]

that's true honeybunny... but in a way may additional help from the psyllium fiber...

This is how it was explained to me.. the psyllium acts as a bulking agent. In a way the psyllium fiber acts like a giant brush inside our intestines , this is why we need water so we won't get constipated. Also,  once it expands, it will give us a feeling of fullness... so we eat less.

^thanks for clarifying sis

[muahmuahmuah]

^^i have the same idea of it the other stuff we can get rid off can get  flushed out by drinking or taking fiber.

i take psyllium husk capsules not regularly tho'.  Sometimes I go straight for a month and then stop or pag feel ko nalang uminom ng capsules. Works well when you exercise or kahit go for an hour walk if you want to lose weight.

I choose yung hindi nakakasuka inumin like just the capsules that require minimal intake. Yung iba kasi parang magchochoke ka muna bago mo inumin or kasing laki ng coin..even the chewables i don't like taking.

my lolo would always say to 'eat pineapples, it has fiber' kaya lagi sila nagseserve ng pinya.

ni-recommend ng gastro ko na mag take daw ako ng metamucil if i want to lose weight naturally.... hindi daw yon nakaka dependent like other laxatives kasi "natural" daw yon. Hesitant ako kasi hindi naman ako constipated....kaya pinag iisipan ko pa.

[honeybunny]

^metamucil? hmmm.. how much kaya yan?

[prettybarbie]

^ i have no idea sis kung magkano satin...pero dito kapag bibili ka at iko-convert mo nasa 800-900 pesos

[honeyjeoffrey]

I'm taking this twice a day before meals. i don't know if this helps me in losing weight. I just want to have a regular poop and i have a sweet tooth. Naka indicate kasi sa likod ng box na it can help lower blood sugar levels.

[lexi_girl]

^yup, it helps you to lose weight din kase it makes you feel full kagad.

i took a box of C-lium. kakaloka lang inumin kasi 5 times a day ang prescribed intake.

[chicafabulosa]

I just brought my Fibro-lium. I used to take Hokkaido slimming pills but haiz mauubos ko na ang isang buong bottle 4 kg lang nalose ko plus di ko feel side effect sa akin. Now I've decided to just take this Fiber supplement. I bought mine sa Watsons. PHP300+. Well nakaindicate take it lang daw once sa morning so I think I'll do that. But curious lang ako nakalagay naman dun rin depends on the metabolism ng tao, ano kaya ibig sabihin nun?

I hope makatulong sya sa pag lose ko ng weight. I need to hit at least 115 lbs kasi. Right now I am 134.

 diba too much ang 5 times? parang yun na ang meal mo for the whole day? and sobrang daming tubig ang dapat inumin or you'll suffer constipation all the more. I only take it once a day to ease my constipation but since I didn't take enough water during the first few weeks, mas lalo ako nahirapan. I now take at least 1.5 liters of water a day.

^ sis baka ibig nyang sabihin 5 capsules..

sinunod ko yung nakasulat sa box na 5 caps, twice a day. grabe, dito pa lang parang nagmeryenda na ako.  5th day ko ngayon. mukhang effective naman. mabilis ako mabusog at di na din ako mabilis magutom.

makikisali po sa discussion.

i have been taking psylium husk for a year now, though hindi regular. i learned about this from my FMIL kasi yun ang pinescribe sa kanya as fiber supplement to lower her cholesterol level. sabi rin ni FBIL na nutritionist, i should take them daw for weight management and for fiber din, kasi hindi ako pwede sa green leafy veggies.

mejo mabagal din ang metabolism ko, so i only take it once a day. about a heaped teaspoon with one glass of juice (hindi ko kasi feel pag water lang) followed by another glass of water. the reason why we need to drink lots of water when we take psylium is it blooms inside our tummies as it absorbs whatever it needs to absorb. you will get the idea pag naiwan nyo yung psylium husk nyo sa baso for more than 30 secs... parang ang dami na nya. kasi pati excess fluids naaabsorb din nya. not to mention, when they bloom, we feel full, less urge in eating 

since psylium helps in regulating BM, it cleans up the colon. hindi kasi por que regular ang morning trips sa banyo eh hindi na constipated. may mga naiiwan pa rin kasing toxins and waste sa colon na hindi naiilalabas, lalo pag masyadong compacted ang stool (you'll know when it is such pag tagaktak na ang pawis tapos konti lang). one thing i notice when i take psylium, magaan sa pakiramdam after the trip.
