Add the psyllium powder to liquid. Water or juice is what the instructions say.

I need to take fiber to keep my diverticulitis in control. 

My internist suggested VitaCost and I buy their Multi-Fiber pills.   Through trial and error, I have found that taking 1/2 a tablet at night is a perfect balance for me.   

Inexpensive, no mixing, 1/2 tablet is easy to swallow.

I also take an Activia Probiotic, and it also seems to really help keep my inflammatory episodes down.

@theresa I do the miralax thing too, only I buy the orange flavor and add it to a small glass of orange juice every morning. I started using miralax while recovering from knee replacement surgery because the narcotic pain pills cause constipation big time.

@CoastalGal it doesn't affect me that way.  You know yourself best
