" 01/01/1991 - "The efficacy, tolerance and acceptability of lactulose (Duphalac) and ispaghula (Fybogel Orange) were assessed in the treatment of chronic constipation in adults. "

" 01/01/1987 - "Intestinal carcinogenesis and dietary fibers: the influence of cellulose or Fybogel chronically given after exposure to DMH." 01/01/1987 - "This study was initiated to analyze the effect of a) two characterized vegetal fibers [i.e., a polysaccharide (cellulose) and a mucilaginous substance (Fybogel)], which were b) added at two concentrations (5% and 15% wt/wt), c) as constituents of low (5% wt/wt) and high (20% wt/wt) fat isocaloric diets d) given chronically to rats one week after the administration of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH); DMH had previously been injected once a week for 15 weeks to induce intestinal carcinogenesis. "

" 09/01/1988 - "This placebo-controlled clinical trial assessed the effect of adding fiber in the form of 'Fybogel' (Ispaghula husk), one sachet twice daily, on the occurrence of diarrhea during enteral feeding. "
5.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 01/01/1987 - "The dietary consumption, the body weight, and the fecal outflow showed a similar and regular evolution for the rats of all experimental groups; the exception was those receiving the 20% lipids-15% Fybogel diet. "
