Yes. According to a recent meta-analysis of research since 1966 (in the European Union) it is possible to take psyllium husks regularly over an extended period of time.
This information comes from the German wikipedia website (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flohsamenschalen) which is way more detailed than the English version.

Try psyllium husks. I would recommend the powder. You mix it with a liquid (I recommend apple juice or rice/soy milk), stir, and chug. Don't hesitate, it begins to gel-up when mixed. Follow with a big glass of water. Try 1 teaspoon of psyllium, once a day, in the morning. Work up from there. Anther herb that may be good, depending on your condition, is Yarrow.
