Psyllium

Psyllium /slim/, or ispaghula /spul/, is the common name used for several members of the plant genus Plantago whose seeds are used commercially for the production of mucilage. Psyllium is mainly used as a dietary fiber to relieve symptoms of both constipation and mild diarrhea, and occasionally as a food thickener.[1] Allergy to psyllium is common in workers frequently exposed to the substance.

It's true, I can't find the original formula at all, anywhere. Our pharmacist said they are not making it anymore because people want the orange flavored products.

Has there been a recall on this product? ## Hi, CatLady! I haven't found any information saying that there is a current recall on it.

Appreciate it. ## There was a sort of recall if you call the konsy...
