It's possible.: Psyllium absorbs and attracts water thus causing thirst. If your sugar is normal, there's no need for alarm. Cut down on it and drink more water. Take care! http://m.Naturalnews.Com/news/036645_psyllium_husk_weight_loss_colon_cleansing.Html.

High calcium can: High calcium can do that. The psyllium husk needs a lot of fluid to go along also.
