there are two functions to the supplement. one is to create a gel in your system, to either solidify D or give your intestines something to grip if you're C. on the other hand, SF (in supplements and food) gets your system digesting easily and smoothly, like warming up before running, or before singing - IF and triggers on an empty stomach can sort of shock it and trigger spasms. however, SF supplements alone aren't enough for the second function - even if you ahve a supplement before a meal, you should still make sure that SF food is a major component of your meal.

some people do find that psyllium causes bloating, so you might want to try something else, but it can also take time to get used to a supplement. make sure you're following the diet closely, and have been for a while, before chalking the problems up to the supplement.
