Try Amazon, or possibly Holland and Barrett - but Google will find stockists for you.A lot of the lchf recipes includem psyllium husks. Has anyone used them and if so where can I buy them?
Ebay has Psyllium at very competitive pricesA lot of the lchf recipes includem psyllium husks. Has anyone used them and if so where can I buy them?
I tried it once for constipation. NEVER again. Within a few hours after downing it, I felt as if somebody was cutting up my intestines with a pair of Pinking Shears. I must be very allergic to it.Try Amazon, or possibly Holland and Barrett - but Google will find stockists for you.
I've eaten LCHF and done a fair bit of baking over the last four years and apart from one awful experience with psyllium have never chosen or needed to use it in anything since then.

PS Another vote for ground almonds, and I also tend to get it on offer - Whitworths is generally 2 for £3 from Ocado too, but they've recently had a good offer on their own (newish) brand.

I've tried it in low carbs bread and it was revolting. Going to have a go doing a bit of baking with almond or cooconut flour. I want to try some low carb gingernut biscuitsA lot of the lchf recipes includem psyllium husks. Has anyone used them and if so where can I buy them?
I use it in cracker recipes and haven't had a problem. I don't detect any flavour from it, and it also helps (me at least) with, um, intestinal progress.... I buy it at our local health food shop and it's not cheap but not too expensive - I try and support local shops if possible. The particular cracker recipe soaks the seeds and psyllium husks in quite a lot of water for about 10-15 mins before baking and that might be better than using it 'straight'. Although, as @Robbity has mentioned, it can have nasty effects on people.A lot of the lchf recipes includem psyllium husks. Has anyone used them and if so where can I buy them?
go onto Amazon the almond flour is cheap and next day delivery ,Free if you are a prime memberI have a lot of recipes asking for almond flour. I have successfully used ground almonds instead but still find it quite pricey. I wondered where everyone bought theirs from or whether you can get it cheaper by bulk buying?
Do we guess the supermarket?I get several pkts of ground almonds when they are on offer (quite frequently at one or other of the big uk supermarkets)
I find ground almonds work fine in any recpe calling for almond flour - the latter is apparently a finer grind of almonds but ive not come across anything where that would make a difference to anything other than my pocket!
