Diet – Maria Conley, M.D.

A board certified internal medicine physician explains how the ground up seed coat of the Plantago ovata plant (otherwise known as psyllium) can completely change your bowel habits for the better. Psyllium, now sold as a powder or in capsules, has been used for over a thousand years to treat constipation and hemorrhoids. It is now also recognized as evidence-based treatment for irritable bowel syndrome and high cholesterol. It’s cheap. Simple. Natural. What could be better?
