Laxative in weird pills, yum! (8)

I believe the answer is:

psyllium

'laxative' is the definition.
(I know that Psyllium is a type of bulk-forming laxative)

'weird pills yum' is the wordplay.
'weird' is an anagram indicator.
'pills'+'yum'='pillsyum'
'pillsyum' anagrammed gives 'PSYLLIUM'.

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
