Constipation, bloating, and gas
Psyllium and glucomannan are bulking agents, not motility enhancers — if your colon is sluggish, all this added volume can create pressure without movement.
Add to that high-protein fermentation (especially if some of it reaches the colon) and you've got a fermentation gas bomb with no easy exit route.
Chronic laxative use often loses effectiveness and can suppress normal peristalsis over time.
Ease Up on Fiber Supplements — Focus on Motility Instead
Consider cutting glucomannan in half (or out entirely for a few days) to reduce gel-like stagnation.
Replace some fiber bulk with motility-supporting choices:
1–2 tsp chia seeds soaked overnight (gentler and lubricating)
Magnesium citrate or bisglycinate (not oxide!) — helps bowels and muscle energy
Kiwi fruit or soaked prunes (2–3 max): natural pro-motility foods
You may want to cycle off psyllium for a week to assess bloating impact.
