Alternative to Questran?? ADVICE PLEASE

[deb123]

Hi,

I have been taking Questran powders for many years, and I take it in a blackcurrant cordial and make it up to a pint of juice - the problem is that this is perfect for when I am at home, but inconvenient when away.

I am planning to do some travelling soon, and wondered if there was an alternative? I have heard that some people take Psylium husks, but i'm not sure how you take them, and where you get them.

Psyllium can be helpful in bulking the stools. It needs to be taken with a lot of water and should be avoided if you have strictures.

Please discuss with your doctor whether its safe to stop the questran and try this.
