Description

A food and pharmaceutical ingredient, which may result in allergy symptoms in sensitised individuals. Ispaghula, more commonly known as Psyllium or Psillium, is a natural hydrophylic mucilloid obtained form the seed husk of plants of the Plantago genus of weeds, which are native to the Mediterranean region and the Near East and are cultivated there and in the southwestern US. Since 1500, it has been used as a bulk laxative, functioning through its high water-binding capacity.

A great variety of allergic symptoms have been reported to the seed and dust of ispaghula, including asthma and/or rhinitis, pruritis of mouth and eyes, diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, tachycardia, hypotension, cough, angioedema, abdominal cramping, wheezing, and urticaria. Acute bronchospasm associated with inhalation of psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid has also been described, as well as eosinophilia. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB. Source: ImmunoCap, ImmunoCap
