Bob’s Red Mill Psyllium Fiber is very affordable on Amazon and It is working for me! It is very affordable and as good as Konsyl for me.

Henry Says:
I had been a Konsyl Original user for many years until the Konsyl company removed it from the market. All my attempts to find out why were unsuccessful. Now Konsyl is apparently back with no explanation. Although I have found nothing that works as well as Konsyl, I refuse to return. A company that makes an ingestible health product and will not disclose why it was suddenly removed from the market to the detriment of its customers should not be trusted. I can only assume the worst about why it was removed and what kind of people run this company. I am currently using the CVS house brand. It's OK. I see Whole Foods sells a psyllium fiber husk. I'll probably try that. Too bad about Konsyl. I used to think highly of them.

This recall is old - note the product expired in 2016. It was manufactured years ago. This is not the current problem. There has been no mention of a recall. If it had been excessive lead levels, there most certainly would have been.

Just purchased Konsyl original formula in new packaging at WalMart yesterday. A little over 14 dollars. The packaging looks pretty much the same. I'm just glad it's back!

Go to a site called truenutrition and customize your own psyllium fiber drink. Recommend adding some flavor to it to add the silicon dioxide and maltodextrin (to smooth it). Each tsp of the original Konsyl "supposedly" had 5g of fiber in it. You can just do the same thing on the website: max it to 100% Psyllium making it 27g of fiber per serving.

Re: Frustated (# 84)
Everyone is not ready to sue. However as with the Rx prescription drugs now that are coming from out of the country, we need to watch what we buy and use. You may not know for years whether this product was contaminated with metals or whatever. If they are mfg something that you are ingesting-don't you want to know it is safe? A complacent attitude is why mfg's get by with things like this. THIS PRODUCT WAS RECALLED AND HAS A SUIT AGAINST IT FROM CALIFORNIA.

Re: Nona (# 82)
So I thought all was good when Walmart took my on line order for 2 - 15oz bottles of Konsyl. Said 2 days for pickup at my local store. 5 days later they cancelled my order “product not yet available”. Should have figured out its going to be a while before this product is back on the shelves!
Back to Viva...

Re: Christine (# 79)
I live out of Atlanta Ga which is a large city. No I was going by the price per container not the Oz. None here that I can find and have even called several stores Pharmacist to see if they know who may have it. If I find it listed at Walmart at $14.95. It is not in Ga that I can see. Do You work for the Konsyl Co?

Re: Christine (# 79)
I went to the website for Konsyl for the state of Ga and could find nothing less than $66.00 dollars for a bottle.
I will try again or go to another state. How do you know there was not a recall?

Christine Says:
To be clear, there was NO RECALL of Konsyl. The company was simply looking for a new supplier, for whatever reason, and it took much longer to find one, and get the operation up to standards than they anticipated. The stock on shelves ultimately ran out as the completion time was continually extended. I don't know where you live in GA, it is a good sized state, but the Austell store has one in stock for $14.44, the same as Walmart charges nationwide, and has for some time. I just looked for a couple of zips in GA and picked one. You can do the same for where you live. You must have been looking at the price per ounce which is 91 cents? If you don't have a Walmart distribution center near your residence, you won't be able to get it as quickly as a larger city. Again, it is pickup only, they won't deliver it yet. Good luck.

I just went on the Walmart website for Ga and they have plenty of Konsyl for $90.00 and more. Has to be the recalled formula.

Christine Says:
You can now buy 2 bottles only on Walmart's website, previously they would let you purchase only 4 at a time, which is how I have always bought it. The only caveat being that you cannot have it delivered, you must pick it up. Obviously, they would like an even distribution throughout the country. If you live near a Walmart, buy it on their website and when it gets in, they will send you an email to pick it up. I am picking up my 2 today that I ordered yesterday in Southern CA. In this way you don't have to worry about whether or not it is at your store or if someone has cleaned them out of items off of the shelves between the time that you get off of the phone and get to the store! Walmart has never stocked more than 6 in the store in the past and we shouldn't expect much now until they re-establish each store's demand. It is obviously back though, and soon, we won't have to worry about the supply chain anymore!

Re: Nona (# 74)
Funny, I just today get an email reply saying the product would be back and that Walmart has the first shipment but They Don't Know When It Will be put on the shelf. They also said they would let me know when I could order from their site.
