I'm new to fibre supplements. How should I start with this powder to avoid stomach upset? — ICONFIT organic psyllium seed husk powder (150 g)

If you're not used to a high-fibre diet, introducing psyllium husk gradually is key to giving your digestive system and gut microbiota time to adjust. A sudden, large increase in fibre can lead to temporary gas, bloating, or cramping.

Begin by taking half a teaspoon (or even a quarter teaspoon) once per day, mixed into a large glass of water. Maintain this dose for three to five days. If you feel comfortable, you can then slowly increase the amount, perhaps to a full teaspoon once daily, and later consider a second dose if desired. Pay attention to how your body responds and adjust the pace accordingly. Consistency is more beneficial than a high dose. Incorporating it as part of a daily routine, alongside adequate water intake throughout the day, supports comfortable adaptation.
