Psyllium is a royal gut gummer-upper!

Colonics won’t help psyllium bezoars because most of these obstructions happen in the small intestine.

Also, regarding the “killing” of endotoxin, according to Dr. Google …

“Bacteria do not need to be alive for endotoxin to be toxic. In fact, endotoxin in live bacteria is less toxic than when the bacteria are dead because endotoxin from dead cells is released, thereby increasing the apparent dose.”

When my intestines get inflamed (it’s rare, but “food poisoning” does happen), I usually eat bland, overcooked, dextrinized foods with extra sugar, and ride it out.

One time it took three months, but I wasn’t into heavy sugar dosing back then.
