Psyllium Husk Addiction and the quest for perfect Poop.
This would be our second trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas. Last year we played a party at a hair salon and it was a highlight of the tour. A bunch of local cool kids hosted us and the place was packed. This time we would be at the Smoke and Barrel in town. We were looking forward to getting back to Arkansas. This one would surely be fun.
The band got some good sleep in Waco before hitting the road. In fact, I think we may have got our first full eight hours of rest for the entire tour. Damn that was nice. We hit the road around lunchtime and started our routine in the van. Let me fill you in on one of our routines.
It seems like every time we go on tour there is a poop story. Last year Mason overflowed a toilet at an after party in Mitchell, South Dakota. Our host didn’t hold it against us and we’ve been invited back. Nothing like that has happened yet, but for some reason poop has become an obsession with the band. Specifically, “poop quality” has become an obsession on this tour.
Shortly after leaving Seattle, Ben and Tiny Dancer hatched a plan to achieve poop perfection while on the road. Touring is hard on the body and a bad poop experience can be a bum out. The guys stopped at a health food store in Santa Cruz and picked up a large canister of whole psyllium husk.
According to Ben, this is the key ingredient in Metamucil. As opposed to Metamucil, it has no flavor and it’s lumpy. It’s also much cheaper and comes in bulk. This stuff was gonna change everything. It would make us invincible to the rigors of the road. It would make us poop gods.
The daily routine started with Ben & Tiny Dancer. One by one we picked up the nasty habit. Now everyone in the band (except Bryan) is a slave to the psyllium. It’s hard to have just one addict in a band. If one cowboy goes down a dark path, everyone ends up hooked. Each day we take our psyllium husk, and each day we discuss the size and quality of our poop. And god damn it if it isn’t working. We can eat Mexican food every day, drink gallons of alcohol, abuse our bodies in every way imaginable, and the trip to the honey bucket gets better every time! You should see Tiny Dancer. He is smiling all the time. I didn’t even know he knew how. Now I am convinced that you have not seen Tiny Dancer truly happy until you’ve watched him emerge from a truck stop bathroom after a good psyllium dump out. And like the true rock star that he is, Tiny Dancer chugs the dry powder straight from the container and washes it down with a gallon jug of water. It’s incredible! The rest of us use a device we call the “funnel” which is really just a folded piece of paper. Using the “funnel” we can pour the powder into to the small openings of bottled water so we can get our daily fix. The whole thing is really starting to get out of hand. Ben has been discussing the possibility of creating an I-phone app for tracking results. Wish him luck.
Here is a quick video of the boys mixing up the daily potion.
Our manager (Leigh) has suggested that we switch over to the good stuff and look for an endorsement deal. Here is the proposed layout for our van.
I’m hoping I can get the monkey off my back when I get back to Seattle. Do they have recovery centers for psyllium abuse? If anyone knows a good facility, please let me know.
So after we all took care of daily business, we got on down the road and made it to our next show. Here are a few highlights.
Bryan and Ben found the pool table and got to work.
We hung out and got some pizza around the corner from the club.
We had a great show at the Smoke and Barrel. Rox opened with a killer set, and then we tore the place down. The club provided us a bottle of whiskey for the baptism and everyone got trashed. After the show, I hit a club around the corner for a good dose of head banging.
I'd tell you more, but we're rolling into St. Louis right now. Gotta dump out and and get to the club. I'll give you results later.

Beneift of Psyllium husk( SAT ISABGOL)
Psyllium may help with weight loss control. Also see an effective appetite suppressant called Diet Rx with no side effects.
Psyllium is a wonderful bulking fiber for constipation. Another benefit of psyllium husk is that it reduces fecal incontinence.
Psyllium helps maintain healthy cholesterol and blood lipid levels. In 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the use of a health claim in the labeling of foods and dietary supplements containing psyllium husk. The health claim states that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include soluble fiber per day from psyllium may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol.
Psyllium may help maintain healthy blood pressure.
Psyllium added to a traditional diet for persons with type II diabetes is safe, well tolerated, and improves glycemic and lipid control.
Psyllium reduces radiation-induced diarrhea.
Psyllium could be helpful for hemorrhoids since it softens the stools.
Psyllium fiber is best taken in a dose of 1 to 5 grams with a meal, particularly if the meal has a low fiber content. You can mix half a teaspoon or a teaspoon of psyllium fiber with a glass of water, once or twice a day. I also recommend drinking a glass of water in the morning when you wake up.

Best thing about psyllium is that if you do it right, you won't even need toilet paper.
