Tracking down Psyllium Husk

Amazon I use it a bit

A good pharmacy should have it and some health food shops. But Amazon is probably your best bet at the moment.

Which one do you get Whitewave. Apparently, if it's too dark it discolours the bread.

I have a feeling I will have to go to Amazon and just try it out.

Holland and Barrett ?

I’ll have a look. Just eating lunch and I keep it upstairs in a store cupboard?, I’ll go up in a minute

I get it from here.

That's the one I get too Baggs - never had a problem with that site

Thank you Baggs and Amberone. That looks light too. Apparently the bread may have a purple tinge if it's the darker version

I'll order some of it as I am just gathering the ingredients together.

Thanks all.

Purple bread rather appeals to me ?

I put some beetroot powder in some loaves. A slight reddish tinge only seemed to show on the top crust. Might be more noticeable if you were making only white bread, I suppose.

It’s currently on offer where I do my online whole food shopping. It’s a company called Healthy Supplies - I don’t have any connection to them other than having been a very satisfied customer for years!

Organic blond psyllium husk.

Hope that helps. Been upstairs a couple of times and forgot? eventually remembered.

When you have time and are upstairs anyway could you see if it mentions a make WW2? "Blonde" was mentioned in the video that goes with the recipe.

I buy it all the time from Ebay. There is plenty of choice, but I go for the blonde version and ensure that it is the powder. The carb free bread made with it prevents the constipation that a Keto diet can cause!

I like this one.
psyllium husk powder

I sort of gathered along the way the bit about constipation shysal but many comments about drinking lots of water. I think the reason for in in gluten free bread is that it helps stick everything together - as gluten would normally do.

Thanks for the link - I had seen that one. I have a few more things to track down so I may be back

Yes I use it for gluten free baking.

? like your comment about me being upstairs - I’ll totter up and have a look?

It's probably more a reflection of my attitude to the stairs Whitewave. I am so enjoying not being threatened by them now I am in a flat

Thats why I haven’t dashed up. I’m getting slower by the day it seems to me. Need a kick up the bum.

Just going to have a bath so I will let you know in two minutes.

No shysal it's from the book How to Make Anything Gluten by Becky Excell. It's just come out but she has a very keen following on Facebook and Instagram. There has been a lot of praise for this particular loaf. She shows it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cok_fP2Jrug

It's based round gluten free be she is aware of Fodmaps too.

Psyllium husk is a laxative, used for bulking up stools, I would be in terrible trouble if I put any that in bread I was making!

As I understand it psyllium husk - as a powder - works in a similar way to xanthan gum which I have in my cupboard and use. The point of using the psyllium is that it gives a more bready loaf. I don't know if you are wheat intollerant or celiac B9exchange but gluten free (and therefore wheat free) bread is often pretty awful so this is worth trying. If it does have a small laxitive effect in the bread 50% of those with IBS will be very happy
