@SilleeMee   Got it, I was not going to 'eat' it from a spoon...just sprinkle on food.  My cholesterol numbers are not in the bad range but culd be lower.

If you bake then there are recipes where psyllium powder can be used as a thickening agent and also to make things chewy. Look online for recipes.

Maybe add it to soft food, too, something you can mix into it. It will thicken it a lot.

I was told to get 24 grams of fiber a day, which I have get in my diet.  Are most of you doing that amount and how much is diet and how much more do you supplement?

I take that psyllium powder, at least 7g x 3 daily. Whatever I get from the food I eat is probably not enough.

Strange your doctors are not recommending cereals that are high in fiber.

@Sooner When DH and I had our colonoscopies the doctor said 30 grams daily.  Since we live a keto lifestyle we're not getting enough through diet, even though I eat a decent amount of vegetables, a good sized salad several times a week, chia pudding every day.

That only provides 1 gram of fiber.
