Another Paleo question:
Psyllium, is it okay on Paleo? Is it a seed or a grain or what?

it is really not something needed-or shouldnt be on paleo diet due to the large amount of fibre and roughage from fruits and vegetables

Dawn, check this out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyllium
Seems like it is a herb, which is OK for Paleo but it usually comes mixed in with cereal like All-Bran (a grain) which is non-paleo. I’m not sure how to obtain “pure” Psyllium. Seems like a good thing to consider if you can get it. As far as fiber, Sarah is right (did I say that out loud??
)vegetables and fat consumption will keep you regular.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of using it as a replacement for grains in various recipes. I think it is worth experimenting with.

Psyllium is apparently is a little too aggressive on the guts. It is sharp like glass. Something a little bit more delecate and easy on the body would be ground up flax seed, but of which help in keeping you regular too;) Anyway, a holistric nutritionist friend of mine advises against psyllium for the above reason.
