How Would You Remove Sugar from Metamucil?

(1/1)

chasendeheaux:
I have a practical question.

How would you remove the sugar and/or sucralose from Metamucil Orange using only what you can find in a kitchen? The goal would be to have just the psyllium left over in a form that is okay for humans to consume.

The stuff gels pretty rapidly in water, and I'm stumped.

I promise that this is not a homework or drug-related question. I am not aware of any drugs that can be made from the ingredients of Metamucil. Nursing homes are hedonistic enough as it is.

AWK:
Find another dietary supplement containing psyllium but without this sweetener.
