Lifestream Fibre Biotics 200 Caps
Kimmi: Is this the same fibre blend in a larger bottle?
Jase: The supplied formula again lists psyllium, inulin and five probiotic cultures. It was formerly called Bowel Biotics Fibre, and the sugarcane-plastic packaging is described as kerbside recyclable.
Psyllium must be taken with plenty of liquid because it can swell and cause choking or blockage. Do not use with swallowing difficulty or suspected bowel obstruction. Start low as directed, and ask a pharmacist about spacing from medicines. Seek care for severe pain, vomiting, blood in stool or persistent constipation.
