Hi all,
Just taking a survey of whether one wipes standing or sitting?
kidding.
Seriously though was looking at a metamucil container and thought wonder if I could grow my own psyllium husk????? or whatever the hell it is.
All help and questions welcomed……..no matter how personal hehehehe
if you eat rye bread or such, and eat vegies, you get enough roughage for regular bowel movement.
they always want us to believe that we need this and that extra to make our lives better, when in fact most of the time we buy because of the persistent advertising, which is not based in fact.
speaking of plumbing…no water on my street till 11am….so can’t go to work till much later.

agreed
only eat meat in one meal a day – veges, pulses, soups all free up the bowels.
our intestine is that of an omnivore – its meant to have meat, fruit and vege but the meat takes a long while to digest and clogs up the system.
people tell me I’m a good 
hi Thee :)
Thanks for the replies………
But does anyone know of anyone that has grown Psyllium themselves?????????
I’m assuming that it is a type of Herb.
I’m not prone to marketing and advertising………Hence the DIY attitude.
Also know that fruit n veg are good for roughage but……. not all eggs fit in the one basket.
People with anaphylactic reactions to nuts and eggs will agree. Some people are unable to eat onions or any peppers. The latter 2 have become my Kryptonite, even though I ate them and Loved them in my earlier days.
Sorry not trying to be sarcastic, but its like telling someone who is lactose intolerant and also Calcium deficient to eat more dairy. maybe I am delerious it is 5:25am after all………zzzzzzz.
i’ll try and pick googles brains, but throw anything my way …… Thanks for previous replies…

Isn’t google amazing….where were we b4 the net.
Got this from WIKI but shhhh don’t tell em
“Plantain seed husks expand and become mucilaginous when wet, especially those of P. psyllium, which is used in common over-the-counter bulk laxative and fiber supplement products such as Metamucil. P. psyllium seed is useful for constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, dietary fiber supplementation, and diverticular disease. Recent research is also showing it to be promising in lowering cholesterol and controlling diabetes.”
Gee I have exposed myself a little on this topic….. hehehehehe
Well know ya all know what it was that got me into starting a vegie patch.
The docs said eat more fuit n veg…….. which I did and I found I became worse till I had identified onions and green peppers as my main adversaries. who knew??
