Psyllium is the answer! Psyllium husks work to soften, yet add bulk to the stool, so they are the magic "cure" for both constipation and diarrhoea. Quite a few members here have found psyllium to be a great help in solving the diarrhoea puzzle.

Thay are available as the husks, or you can get them in capsule form - usually from health food shops. The husks are available (at least here in Oz) from supermarkets, pharmacies as well as health food shops.

To take the husks, you stir 1 tablespoon into a full glass of water. Stir in well, then drink down fast. Not the most pleasant taste in the world but can be made more palatable by adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the water.

Fibre products such as psyllium can impair the absorption of your supplements, so it's best to take the fibre 2 hours before or 1 hour after your supps.
