I take psyllium too, and I've been taking it first thing in the morning to get it over with, but I like your idea of taking it before dinner. I don't really have to urge to eat until about 3 pm, and when the urge hits, I really have to keep myself in check. I think taking psyllium before dinner will help me control this, so I'm starting tomorrow! I take it with water, and I have to chug it down real fast before I taste it or get that gritty feeling in my mouth.
