Is powdered husk safe for kids of 8 years to relieve constipation?
My son is 8 years old and has constipation. He often forgets to drink an adequate amount of water. Should I give him some Psyllium Husk to relieve this constipation?

More fiber is likely not the answer and can contribute to more constipation, a daily dose of miralax will help
This can be given to increase his fiber but if his problem is due to low fluid intake he can get bloated with the fiber
Psyllium Husk is good, but has to be taken with adequate oral fluid daily. Ensure he takes adequate amounts of fiber daily.
