Thanks for sharing this! It seems worth trying to get a low-lead psyllium powder (right now Consumer Reports recommends Organic India).
I read around a little, and it sounds like this shouldn’t be too concerning though. Since psyllium forms a gel and and doesn’t actually get digested, I’d guess that very little of this lead is actually absorbed, and there are actually studies recommending psyllium as a way to remove lead from your body.
I’d lean on the side of caution and not feed psyllium husk to children though.
