Does High-fiber foods Affect Psyllium Husk?
May affect absorption or how you feel
The short answer
Psyllium forms a viscous gel that traps other supplements, dramatically reducing their absorption. Double fiber load worsens this effect.
How to arrange timing
Take psyllium at least 2 hours apart from all other supplements when consuming high-fiber meals.
