Psyllium husk for Reta/GLP constipation symptoms
If you’re on Retatrutide or any GLP and dealing with the usual gut slowdown, psyllium husk is one of the highest ROI things you can add.
GLPs delay gastric emptying. Food sits longer, transit slows, and you get the classic mix of constipation, incomplete empties, and that “backed up but not really hungry” feeling. Psyllium (soluble fiber) absorbs water, softens stool, and helps keep things moving without the urgency or cramping you get from stimulant laxatives.
I’ve been pointing people at this specific bottle because it’s straightforward:
Nutricost Psyllium Husk 1500 mg
500 capsules
Gluten-free / GMO-free
No weird fillers
~$20 and lasts a long time

How people usually run it:
Start low (1–2 caps) with a full glass of water
Work up as needed
Take it away from your peptides / other meds if possible so it doesn’t slow absorption
Keep water intake up or it can do the opposite of what you want
Not medical advice, just the practical move a lot of people on these compounds end up making once the slowdown hits. If you’re already dealing with it, this is cheaper and cleaner than most of the other OTC options people reach for first.
