Can a normal healthy person take isabgol every day? I deal with chronic diarrhea and I've been taking 2 teaspoons of isabgol mixed with lemon and water every morning. Is this okay? I'm a bit worried if there are any side effects from using isabgol for a long time, like over a few years. What do you think?

I've been noticing blood mixed with mucus in my stool and had a capsule endoscopy that showed duodenal and proximal jejunal lymphangiectasia along with small bowel erosions. My sigmoidoscopy also found areas of hyperemia and superficial ulcers in the rectum. Earlier CT scans showed clumped ileal loops, but after surgery, the obstruction cleared though there's still mild wall thickening, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, and a bit of straw-colored free fluid in the abdomen. Could this be IBD like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis? And what exactly is lymphangiectasia?
gastroenterology opinion is advised.
