So I picked up some Psyllium Husk Power and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out a way to take it daily. The bottle suggests mixing it into water and drinking immediately, but that's a joke. The stuff tastes wretched, and it has the worst texture going down. I have to try not to vommit in the process. I've tried mixing it with food, but not only does it ruin the food, it forms large sticky chunks in my mouth...not fun.
I need some creative advice on how to take this stuff without having to taste it. It works great when I get it down, and no other fiber supplements come close to the dietary fiber content of this, especially considering the great cost. Help is appreciated!

As cheap as psyllium is why not just trash it and take something in capsule form that you can use. I like the Yerba Prima Daily Fiber Caps. Great blend of different fibers and around 7 bucks a bottle.
Depending on where you bought it, consider bringing it back and saying you tried it in good faith but it doesnt work for you, can you get credit for something else. Most health food stores and online places have pretty liberal return policies for situations like this, if only because the vendor will give them full credit for your return 99.9% of the time.

Where can you can get Psyllium Husk Powder in caps? Do you have to take like 10 a day or what?

(Abbreviated) DIRECTIONS: Take 5 or 6 capsules with a full glass (8 oz.) of water, 3 to 4 times daily.
This seems like a helluva lot to me. So I just take 4-6 caps on the occasional day.
