Psyllium supplements and Omeprazole

3-4 years ago I used to suffer from what was diagnosed as general ibs. I'm a teacher so I think stress contributed quite a bit. However, I've recently been taking costco psyllium capsules (3 in the morning, 3 at night) along with 20mg of Omeprazole in the morning (as directed). My BMs are way more consistent and solid compared to the past. In addition I take a probiotic and the reduction in gas and losses BMs has been substantial. I'm convinced my lack of fiber was a major contributor slowing the digestion process. I HIGHLY recommend trying this as it has minimal side effects. The reduction in stomach acid helps slow the process and all for nutrient uptake. I take a number of other supplements but feel fiber has been massive difference maker. I wish you all the best.

  1. Thank you so much for sharing what has worked for you! I'm so glad that you're finally feeling better. Were you mostly dealing with IBS-D or IBS-C before starting the psyllium capsules? Karina (team member)
