Re: To play with clay, or eat clay: .......http://www.eytonsearth.org/

Ptree told me that since I am using powdered clay I should hydrate it first. She provided a website to learn how to do this. The site (up there in the subject line) is great. Just copy and paste it onto your browser. When you get to the site, scroll to the bottom of the page and in small print it tell you how to prepare the clay. I was just dumping the clay into a bottle, adding the psyllium and water, shaking it and drinking it. The clay was all clumped then. I have since added water to the clay and let the clay soak up the water. It is great now and works better!
