Psyllium-containing laxatives are considered class C-2 drugs in pregnancy, meaning that they appear to be safe in all three trimesters, although studies in pregnant humans and animals have not been donePsyllium-containing products are considered class 1 (apparently safe) during breastfeedingThe only thing I would personally do is buy psyllium husks in bulk, instead of buying it mixed 50 / 50% with sugar, like it is sold as Metamucil or similar brandsIf you buy sugar-free Metamucil, you're really taken to the cleanersBTW, Psyllium seed husks are portions of the seeds of the plant Plantago ovata - an all NATURAL soluble fiber, not a chemical.
Do you want a meatloaf with crap or with tasteIf the second, get 1 lbground beef (lean) and 1 lbroastPut the roast in your crockpot with some beef bullion and let it cook for a couple of hours until it is so tender it shredsTear it into pieces and mix with the ground beefMix in 1 tblspn minced garlic, 1/2 tblspn black ground pepper, 1/2 tblspn sea saltNext, preheat the oven to 350 degreesIf you choose to use prepared sauce, then at least a jar of Garden Medly spaghetti sauce from Paul NewmanI use rotel diced tomatoes (four cans) and mix in one freshly chopped roma tomatoe, two scallions (the green end) and salt and pepper to tasteNow that you have the paste, go back to the meat and mix in two eggs, four tblspns of EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil and IF you must use a filler (I never do) use a bag of salad crutons (I prefer garlic)Mix thoroughly by hand mixing in just a touch of the sauce and form in the pan you useLadel a small amount of sauce over the meat then cover with a loose tent of aluminum foil for 30 minutesWhen the time expires, ladel more sause and remove the tentLet cook until doneHeat the remaining sauce on a low flame and serve the meatloaf with side sauce for dipping.
It is fairly one of the easiest things to makeTake 2 pounds of ground beef, add one egg, half a cup to a cup of rice, some salt, pepper, garlic(if you like) a minced onion and a can of diced tomatoesMix it all together well, then put it in a loaf pan and top with tomato sauceBake at 350 for about 90 minutesPutting Mozzarella cheese on the top and letting it melt also is very good.
