I had a mum ask me this morning if Psylium husks ( metasmucil in Australia) will make her newborn  colicky . We talked about moderation in foods & perhaps that this would be the best approach here starting with a very small amount & increasing if necessary & tolerated .
I also suggested asking her doctor for a blood test to see if the iron supplement was necessary .
An archive search & Hale didn't come up with anything on Psyllium , anyone know ??
