<p>A high-fiber, consumable bulk fiber composition, which may be used as a laxative, comprises powdered psyllium husks agglomerated with a water-soluble, low viscosity gum, preferably gum acacia, to form a dry, free-flowing, water-dispersible dietary fiber combinate. To form the dietary fiber combinate, the powdered psyllium husks are mixed with an aqueous solution of the water-soluble, low viscosity gum, preferably by fluid bed agglomeration, and dried. The composition is employed to treat constipation by ingesting an effective amount of the dietary fiber combinate dispersed in water.</p> |
