What Experts Say

Doctors and dietitians often suggest this powder for patients with constipation who are not getting enough fiber from their regular diet. It is one of the safer long term options for daily bowel support and is often preferred over stimulant laxatives because it works gently rather than forcing the bowel.

Ispaghula husk absorbs water in the intestine and swells into a gel. This adds bulk to the stool and makes it softer, which helps it pass through the bowel more easily and regularly without straining the gut wall or causing sudden, uncomfortable urgency.

Diets heavy in refined flour and low in vegetables are common in many households here, which raises constipation complaints seen in clinics. Doctors frequently recommend this kind of fiber supplement alongside simple advice to drink more water through the day and add more fruit, vegetables and whole grains to daily meals wherever possible.
