> Psyllium husk is just great stuff isn't it, for all sorts of things, if you don't go enough or if you go too much. I take it every morning. You can (maybe where you are) get it from health food shops as is, without the sugar that is in Metamucil.
> DeclanYes, i read that it lowers cholesterol and
is good for your heart; regarding lithium
it has the interaction of lowering the dose --
which may be good or bad depending on the
blood tests; that may be why it helps
with diarrhea so far, i.e. that it lowers
the lithium dose. But my dr. ok'd it probably
not knowing exactly how low the dose goes -
as long as it is in the therapeutic range.Thank you Declan.
