GAil the husks are the same thing as Metamucil. Its not indicated for people that have your condition. So unfortunately you'll have to stay far away from it. It can cause what u described in individuals taht are suscetible. Stick with getting enough fiber from veggies, drinking a ton of water and eventually when your in OWL after induction try having the flax o meal hot cereal. Its loaded with flax fiber that won't harm you. Also whats worked for me is Salmon oil caps! Hope this helps
