Fiber boosters (choose 1–2/day)
- Isabgol (psyllium husk): start 1 tsp (≈3–4 g), up to 1 tbsp/day. Take with 300–400 ml water. Keep 2 hours away from medicines/supplements.
- Chia seeds: 1 tbsp (10–12 g) soaked or mixed in curd; up to 2 tbsp/day if tolerated.
- Sabja (basil seeds): 1 tsp soaked in water; good for cooling + digestion.
- Flaxseed (alsi): 1 tbsp (ground) in curd/sambar; helps fiber + fats (watch calories).
Bedtime “cooling” water (30–60 min before sleep)
- Gond katira: soak a small piece (about ½–1 tsp when expanded) in water for 6–8 hours; drink with 300–500 ml water. Start small to test digestion.
- Optional add-ons (pick one): a pinch of jeera or saunf water, or a squeeze of lemon if you like it.
If you already wake up to pee at night, keep bedtime water smaller and push more water earlier in the day.
Safety notes (important)
- Increase fiber slowly (gas/bloating means reduce dose and build up).
- If you have IBS/acid reflux sensitivity, avoid large bedtime volumes and keep it simple.
- If you have kidney disease or are on BP meds, don’t push potassium/sodium aggressively without medical advice.
