Psyllium, is the common name used for several members of the plant genus Plantago whose seeds are used commercially for the production of mucilage.
Psyllium is mainly used as a dietary fiber to relieve symptoms of both constipation and mild diarrhea and occasionally as a food thickener. Research has also shown benefits in reducing blood cholesterol levels.
Gluten-free bread is often made of a mixture of flours like buckwheat flour, tapioca flour, millet flour and psyllium seed husks.
