Fiber

[Guest guest]

Okay the Doctor's are telling me I need more fiber!! Does anyone else out there

take fibre supplements to help with fiber intake? Does anyone think it's not a

good idea taking fiber supplements? Does anyone have any issues with taking

fiber with such a small stomach? I am 8 months post op.

The Fiber tablets did NOTHING for me. If you are constipated use Miralax. I use it everyday. I mix my in the blender with my protein drink. It is tasteless and it not habit forming. I use Costco brand and it cost less. I also mix it with tea sometimes too.

Hi from SK, I added half cup Kashi Lean cereal (13g protein (soy) in 1 full cup) to my greek yogurt in the morning and found that it helped a lot. I struggle with lack of good "digestive process" and find salads are also helpful. Not sure if you liked prunes or not, occasionally I will have 3 of them (they are so sweet) and they also help.

Yes I have a small salad everyday, nothing seems to work for me. For some reason things just don't want to work. I guess my body was used to the junk and high fat and calories I used to eat...>> ,> Have you tried adding a salad to your daily meals?
