Psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid is a bulk-forming oral laxative. This type of laxative absorbs liquids from the intestines and swells to form a soft, bulky stool. G.D. Searle & Company marketed "Metamucil" from 1934 until 1985. The product has proven beneficial for those suffering irritable bowel syndrome.
