Soluble fiber may resolve digestive complaints.
Psyllium
Rich in soluble fiber, psyllium seeds and their husks have long been enlisted to ease constipation and digestive system upsets. During the Middle Ages, Arab physicians regularly recommended a formula for constipation that included psyllium as a principal ingredient. Today, a number of studies suggest that psyllium also may be effective in lowering cholesterol levels, promoting weight loss (by making the dieter feel full), and aiding in healing numerous other conditions. Psyllium's reddish brown-to-black seeds are so tiny that that they are occasionally referred to as "flea seeds." Odorless and tasteless, psyllium are commonly added to laxatives, other herbal cures, and even to certain breakfast cereals.
