Subject: Dietary Fibre and Detox


Hello,

This isn't a Yoga post, but I've seen discussions of similar things, so hopefully it's relevant. Apologies if not.

I've just started a detox today and I'm a bit confused about Fibre. I'm using bentonite clay, which according to many things I've read should be taken with Psyllium. I bought Psyllium, but I bought capsules rather than the husks or powder that has been recommended for use with the bentonite clay. I do have F.O.S. fibre powder though. My questions are as follows:

1) Is taking the Psyllium capsules (a few hundred mg) an appropriate replacement for the Psyllium powder (a few grams) for use with bentonite clay?
2) Should I use the F.O.S. fibre powder with the bentonite clay instead of the Psyllium?
3) Are the Psyllium capsules going to give me enough dietary fibre for my detox generally or should I be making sure that I have the F.O.S. fibre every day too?
4) Is there actually a different between Psyllium husks, powder, capsules and F.O.S. powder, or are they all just different ways of getting dietary fibre?

Sorry for the long post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ollie.
