- PromisingPsyllium Huskby the third and fourth week of daily useBuilds with daily use
In a partially randomised comparative-effectiveness trial in 79 adults with chronic constipation, 12 g per day of psyllium raised the weekly rate of complete spontaneous bowel movements significantly when treatment weeks three and four were compared with baseline, and straining improved. The primary responder endpoint did not separate psyllium from the two comparators. A separate four-week randomised trial in 172 constipated adults found 3.5 g per day of psyllium raised bowel movement frequency by 2.9 movements, which was not different from the 3.7 seen on placebo.

In two randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trials, seven days of psyllium against maltodextrin in 8 healthy volunteers and 16 constipated patients raised stool water content and shifted faecal microbiota composition, with the larger shift in the constipated group and increases in three butyrate-producing genera correlating with the rise in faecal water. Stool water and microbiota were the measurements. Symptoms were not the endpoint.
