Re: WHGC (# 6)

These products will not give similar results if you are Gluten intolerant and Prediabetic.
The sugar alone sends me into problems. I dont't get it -other than the mfg does not want to be sued. This is in no way fair to the consurmer that needs the Gluten free/sugar free formula. The fact that the mfg would say it can cause Birth defects with no other info is ridiculous.

I do see on one of the containers where the State of California says- Warning may cause Birth Defects for PG women??? What does that mean? I have found several drugstores now that have a few. I am asking them to hold for me.

I just did a quick search on the web and you can buy whole psyllium husk from many sources. It may be a viable alternative to Konsyl. I’m going to try a small container and see how it does.

Yes and so strange there is nothing on Konsyls website except ‘Back Soon’ on the products.

I too have tried other supposedly similar products and they don’t work plus they have a lot of sugar.

Re: WHGC (# 6)

I cannot have the sugar as most of these products do. I need an explanation as to why no one is getting in a new supply? None of the stores here carry it. You can get it from Amazon-but it is $$$$$. I am wondering if there is a health risk now if I use it again? I think we need to be asking questions publicly to get the right answers.

This answer is totally unacceptable. Our Pharmacist said it would not be available again??? Why not? This was a popular product. I have IBS and it has worked for me. I also have Fibromyalgia and the fact that it has no Gluten was a plus. Need more detail. If anyone knows the real story here -please share. Our Pharmacist called the mfg .

The interesting part is that it has practically disappeared from the shelves and you can't seem to find any information anywhere as to why on the net. This thread is the only thing I have found anywhere.

I have tested a few of the other products out there and for me, they do not work nearly as effectively. But I am sure everyone will react to them a little differently.

There are similar products on the market. I have seen them at Walmart and RiteAid and I am sure other drug chains have them. Look for psyllium husk as the main ingredient. The ones I have seen have a bit less fiber than Konsyl and they also have sugar (sucrose) added, but they should give similar results.

I see online that CVS 's generic Konsyl is still available in some of their stores.

Re: Verwon (# 1)

My husband uses Konsyl and we were wondering why we could not find it in stores and I found this thread. Is there a product with the same ingredients that are like Konsyl that he can buy while waiting for Konsyl to become available again?

There was a sort of recall if you call the konsyl manufacturer they will explain to you that it was an international thing that they stopped production to evaluate the product.. it will not be available back in stores until the end of October

Hi, CatLady!

I haven't found any information saying that there is a current recall on it. The last one I found listed was due to a labeling problem and occurred in 2011.

However, since this isn't an item that completely falls under command of the FDA, the company isn't actually required to log a recall notice with them or any particular entity. Recalls are actually voluntary and up to their discretion, unless it's due to an issue that has the potential to be very dangerous.

Did you try asking at your local stores to see if it was recalled or if they are just out of stock?
