Isabgol vs. Chia Seeds: Doctor Advocates Psyllium Husk for Fiber Benefits, Online Debate Ensues

A doctor has compared isabgol (psyllium husk) to chia seeds, advocating for isabgol as a superior natural source of soluble fiber for gut health. He highlighted isabgol's 70-80% soluble fiber content compared to chia seeds' 10%, noting its prebiotic effects, ability to promote fullness, and benefits for cholesterol and blood sugar. While some online users agreed, others cautioned against daily isabgol consumption, suggesting it could cause issues for those with loose stools or bloating, and recommended chia seeds as a potentially better daily option.
