Some products may not be compatible with certain medications or chronic conditions. In addition, dosages differ with each product. Most psyllium husk products can be taken one to three times a day. Your doctor may suggest a higher dosage to relieve severe constipation or diarrhea or if you are using it for other issues. It is better to add fiber to your diet slowly to decrease discomfort, bloating and gas. Measure half teaspoon dose the first time you take psyllium and increase the amount by a half teaspoon every few days until you are taking the recommended dosage. Stir it well for about 10 seconds. Add more liquid if it is too thick. Do not allow the mixture to sit after you have mixed it because it will begin to form a gel that may be difficult to swallow. Psyllium husk becomes gel-like and bulky after a short time. It can create a choking hazard if it is taken in a semi-solid form. Make sure that you have used enough liquid and that you drink the mixture right away to avoid this potential hazard. If your psyllium husk mixture is gel-like, throw it out and mix a new batch. If you are taking multiple doses of psyllium husk, try to space your doses out throughout the day. For example, you could take one dose of psyllium husk in the morning, one at midday, and one in the evening.  Keep in mind that your doctor may suggest a higher dosage to relieve severe constipation or diarrhea. Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless your doctor has told you to do so. For treatment of high cholesterol, 10 to 12 g of psyllium may be prescribed. This is approximately two to three tbsp. of psyllium, broken up into smaller doses with 8 to 16 oz. of water throughout the day.  If you think that you may have overdosed on psyllium, contact your local poison control center by calling 1-800-222-1222. Wafers may also be preferable if you dislike the taste of the drink mix. Take small bites and chew each bite very well. Drink a glass of water or juice with the wafer. This will ensure it starts to bulk up when it reaches your stomach.

If you are planning to take psyllium to help with constipation, make sure that you incorporate some other positive lifestyle changes as well. Constipation means you have three or less bowel movements per week. Your stool is hard and can be difficult to pass. If you have constipation, try these lifestyle changes.   Drink plenty of fluids. The Institute of Medicine recommends about 3 liters for men and 2.2 liter for women of water AND liquids combined.   Increase intake of dietary fiber. Fruits such as pears, berries, prunes and apples are high in fiber. Beans, sweet potatoes, spinach, and whole grains are also good sources.  Avoid high sugar or high fat, processed foods. These include white breads, doughnuts, sausage, fast-food, and french fries and others.   Use the restroom when you need to go. Holding or delaying going to the restroom can make constipation worse. Your stool may be harder and if you delay, your body may not be ready to defecate later on.  Exercise daily. Exercise can help stimulate your digestive tract, which will help your body process food.
