Hi Kristie,

I recomend that you go out to your local health food store and buy a book call 'Renew Your Life' written by Brenda Watson. The reason is that the book will explain what's going on inside your digestive system and answer just about every question you have as it relates to your digetive system. Internal cleansing is extremely important starting with a cleanse focused on your major eliminative organs. You want to start there to make sure you're having enough bowel movements each day to ensure the toxins are being removed from your system wehn you do cleanses. You start with a general cleanse like the one I've just mentioned then move on to more specific cleanses depending on what is troubling you. Common cleanses would be for parasites (both microbial and larger ones), candida, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and heavy metal. I'd also recommend that you take a look at one companies web site that is the only US company that specializes in digestive care. It's called ReNew Life. Check out www.renewlife.com and you'll find lots of help. By the way, psyllium is not as good for you as flax fiber. Psyllium is 100% soluble where flax is 50% soluble and 50% unsuluble. Since most people suffer from constipation and one of the biggest reasons is lack of enough water, imagine what can happen if you ingest psyllium which sucks up what little water you have in your digestive system...constipation. Hope this helps.
