psyllium
Digestive fiber source
Psyllium is a plant whose seeds and husks are used as a fiber supplement and laxative.
The husk absorbs water and swells into a gel, adding bulk to stool and easing its passage.
Psyllium is the active ingredient in products like Metamucil: Mix the psyllium powder with a full glass of water.
