        I have everything for the Digestive Support Formula except the psyllium.  Any substitutions available or should I just delay making it till I get some?  Thanks 🙂

          I’d wait for some psyllium. The fiber is a huge part of why the formula is so good for you. :0)

              I’m placing an order for goodies now – what about the marshmallow ROOT vs LEAVES (or flowers)?  I have quite a few things in the cart already.

                  All parts of marshmallow are useful but the root is the best.

                Sorry, but I meant to ask how chia seeds might compare to the psyllium (particularly in the formula).  Might they be somewhat interchangeable, or not even close?  I know that chia in and of itself seems to help a lot of people with the kinds of issues that psyllium does, but…??

                  Chia would would also be a good source of fiber and also has some mucilage. That’d work.
