But it would be stupid to assume you have a parasite or colon tumor at this point.

I buy a psyllium fiber called Konsyl which has no sweetners, so it's better for your overall health. Sweetners don't do much for the grainy texture anyway. Just follow the directions closely with regard to how much water to drink.

Where can I buy psyllium? In the pharmacy? GNC?
