Getting psyllium down me

[Alexandra100]

If you still have a source of rhubarb (I seem to recall you favour it), you could try some added to the stewed rhubarb?

(I tend to stew mine, with fresh ginger - start the ginger first as it takes a bit longer than the rhubarb to soften. That said, my rhubarb patch has finished cropping for this year.)

Wow @DCUKMod I so wish I had your memory! Good idea! I do actually have some frozen rhubarb and, as a bonus, some fresh ginger too. Yes, maybe I could conceal a spoonful of the dreaded psyllium in a bowl of very sloppy stewed rhubarb. I know it might be more effective taken in a glass of water before a meal, but that is just not going to happen. We all have our limits.

I'd suggest grating the ginger, rather than chopping or slicing it, as it does take a few minutes to soften more substantial pieces. I tend to use a microplane, as I would for zesting. Mind your fingers!
