Side-effect and combination signals

No standalone side-effect or combination signal is currently clear enough to show from the collected papers. This does not mean there is no concern.

Evidence summaries

Paper IDs and full lists are private. Only study types and summaries are shown.

Key Evidence #1
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 162
observational

It is found that the dietary fibers or probiotics may relieve hard stool, with intervention-specific changes in gut microbiota relevant to constipation relief, in 250 adults with functional constipation.

Key Evidence #2
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 122
observational

Patients with FI may experience a reduction in FI frequency after psyllium supplementation, and decreased FI frequency has been shown to be an important personal goal of treatment for patients with FI.

Key Evidence #3
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 96
observational

The reduction in glycemic response was enhanced by combining soluble fiber to the normal diet and consumption of foods containing moderate amounts of these fibers may improve glucose metabolism and lipid profile in type 2 diabetes patients.

Children in the psyllium group had a greater reduction in the mean number of pain episodes than children in the placebo group, independent of psychological factors.

Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 65
observational

In patients with T2D and chronic constipation, psyllium supplementation decreased constipation symptoms, body weight, glycemic, cholesterol, and increased HDLC levels.

Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 60
observational

Psyllium fiber supplementation did not significantly reduce CRP levels in overweight or obese individuals in this trial, and changes in other markers were not consistent.
