For constipation, I’ve read that psyllium is our best bet, but it is not thought to help make short chain fatty acids, of consequence.
It does reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, and keep us regular, though. However, you still need those other fibers for those short chain fatty acids that can help so much, produced by gut bacteria.
I’m gonna look at psyllium, thanks.
I took psyllium for years and it worked perfectly. And then one day it didn’t. Not sure why. Got the NOW brand from Amazon.
Went to prunes, but they’re not easy to pack for traveling, so maybe I’ll give psyllium another shot.
