I love having a thick glass of water after letting psyllium husk powder sit in it - Lemmy

When I first looked up psyllium husk powder as a fiber supplement, people were complaining that it made the water thick and gross. That enticed me to buy it. And when the packaging said to drink immediately after mixing lest it thicken, I instead let it sit for a good 15 minutes until my glass of water had a smoothie-like consistency. Makes me love drinking water again and also sad that I can’t have it with every glass of water or else I get stopped up.

i must be doing something wrong because i cannot get the powder to emulsify lol.
Use room temp water with crushed ice and stir vigorously until the ice has melted. (this has traditionally worked for me but ymmv).
