We use psyillium husk as an ingredient in making low carb flat bread, but I had no idea of its other benefits.

I wish I liked them enough to have it daily.

I found some oral Frankensense so I guess that’s how it helps.

I concur. I recently learned I have divicular disease and I’ve had 3 painful “attacks” in a year. Once was after drinking no water for a few days (I had coffee and wine but minimal other fluids those days) and once was after NOT eating oatmeal every morning for a week as I had been in the habit of doing since the diagnosis. Never again! Oatmeal with fruit and 8 glasses of water daily for me from now on.

Here are several research papers on Frankinsense that reference internal use for just ulcerative colitis. Also used for Khrons and most other digestive disorders.

It is an incredibly versatile herbal remedy backed by tons of research. Here are some of its other uses, arthritis, tumors, inflammation, heart disease this link should keep you busy if interested. Its no wonder it was given as a gift by the 3 wisemen. Hope you enjoy

I take Boswellia extract (65% Boswellia acid) for other reasons; 1,000 mg capsules.

S/b Boswellic acid.

I buy the Walgreens generic (Walmucil). Its a little cheaper than the Metamucil and its probably the same stuff. It goes pretty fast if you use it daily.

I buy the orange flavored that has a little sugar added.

Thanks for posting. I’ll give it a try.

Metamucil, store brand, or some generic from Amazon.
All are excellent. You might start with a brand you can get reliably, and start slow, then increase. You will know in a day or so. It’s great!
