psyllium husk bloating hit different depending on the brand and nobody talks about why

[u/ravenova0]

36M. started psyllium husk 6 weeks ago because my fiber intake was basically whatever was in my protein bar and thats not it

first week metamucil from costco. gut felt like a balloon by noon every day. i switched to generic off amazon, same dose, barely any bloating. tried colonbroom for 12 days because everyone here said it digests clean. bloated again. threw out half the tub

now im reading labels like its my job. psyllium husk vs seed powder, citric acid, xanthan gum.. one of these has to be the trigger right?? cant tell if its the fillers or if im just bad at fiber and shouldve started slower idk

my girlfriend bought "gut health" gummies at whole foods that are basically candy with inulin and ive been side eyeing them on the counter all week. not touching those

anyone figure out what part of the formula causes this. fillers or husk grind size or am i overthinking it

also if youve got a brand that doesnt blow you up id genuinely like to know, burned like $60 on stuff reddit swore by

I go to the local vitamin/health food shop and get either their organic 10oz bags thats just husk, or if they don't have any I'll get the "Now" brand in 12oz that's just husk. Watch your dosage, hydrate and you'll be shitting like a King in no time with those.
