Make other lifestyle changes to help with constipation. 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.[12]- 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.[13]
- 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.[14]
- 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.
Gluten-free baking can be a hassle, but baking gluten-free dishes that are also low carb can prove to be even more of a challenge! The batter gets too sticky or too watery, the dough will just not stick together, or the dough will just not rise at all!
Luckily for us, psyllium husk powder is like a miracle ingredient in the low carb world! I like to call it the miracle glue because it honestly acts like glue! If you’ve ever baked with gluten, you’ll noticed that it kind of acts the same way and helps all of the ingredients stick together and bake evenly. The liquid and dry ingredients ratios can be a little tricky to play with, which is why I decided to compile this list from different low carb bloggers who’ve used psyllium husk before! If it’s your first time baking with it, definitely try one of these yummy recipes! I recommend using the NOW brand of Psyllium Husk Powder as some other brands tend to turn your baked goods purple! Although they don’t taste any different, it’s still a bit weird eating purple bread!
