Does mucilage worsen Crohn's?

Mucilage from Wikipedia

Aloe vera
Basella alba (Malabar spinach)
Cactus
Chondrus crispus (Irish moss) AKA carrageenen (see my post entitled  "Does carrageenan worsen Crohn's?"
Dioscorea opposita (nagaimo, Chinese yam)
Drosera (sundews)
Drosophyllum lusitanicum
Fenugreek
Flax seeds
Kelp
Liquorice root
Marshmallow
Mallow
Mullein
Okra
Parthenium
Pinguicula (butterwort)
Psyllium seed husks
Salvia hispanica (chia) seed
Ulmus rubra bark (slippery elm)

Exopolysaccharide from Wikipedia
"Exopolysaccharides generally consist of monosaccharides and some non-carbohydrate substituents (such as acetate, pyruvate, succinate, and phosphate)"



Does the soothing action of demulcents outweigh the inflammation stimulated by polysaccharides?

(At our house, the answer is NO!)
