Guest guest Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 sbel, thanks! I have ground flaxseed and was wondering if it would be okay to add because I knew that you couldn't bake with the flaxseed oil. I'm glad that the meal is okay (is that the same as ground seed?). Also, how much of it do you add per recipe?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 ,Yes that is the same as ground flaxseeds,you could grind your own I guess.I use about 1/4 cup in my muffins,but you could use as little as2 tablespoons and still benifit but I say the more the better.I also use it in buckwheat pancakes. Hope you like it! sbel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 In LR4YT, on page 165, larch arabinogalactans is recommended for soluble fiber and whole flaxseeds soaked overnight for insoluble fiber. In her column Heidi recommends that type Os don't use psyllium: " Psyllium isn't recommended as a regular fiber supplement for type O. Ground flaxseed stirred into water or juice is a better choice. If you prefer an over-the-counter product, has noted that " Citrucel, " while not perfect, is an acceptable alternative to psyllium-based blends like Metamucil. " " ...many forms of intestinal disease will get worse rather than better if rough fiber like wheat bran or psyllium husks is introduced. " " Psyllium isn't recommended for Os. Instead, get some flaxseed (brown or gold) and grind a tablespoon or two at a time in an electric coffee grinder. Whole flaxseed keeps a LONG time in the fridge. " " ...psyllium really shouldn't be used by type O. Substitute fresh-ground flaxseed instead. " Psyllium is recommended in LR4YT in the type A section. I read somewhere that ground flaxseed will provide about 50/50 soluble/insoluble fiber. Don Re: New member Irene- Type O neg Somewhere D'Adamo says if you're eating the wrong kind of fiber you'll have gas. Psyllium or larch arabinogalacan are other fiber options.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Thanks for the update Don. I checked recently because I wanted to use some Konsyl with psyllium for a mini detox. One of the books said it was OK, not the best however. I'll see if I can find where it was. Maybe an older book like ER4YT or the Encyclopedia. It's not in typebase. I had bought Konsyl for my daughter-in-law's constipation. Since she started BTD she doesn't need it. She's a B. Dairy regulates her bowels. That is hard for me to believe as an O. Just another example of the need for more individualized diets. > In LR4YT, on page 165, larch arabinogalactans is recommended for soluble > fiber and whole flaxseeds soaked overnight for insoluble fiber. > > In her column Heidi recommends that type Os don't use psyllium: > > " Psyllium isn't recommended as a regular fiber supplement for type O.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Janelle, Our patients use Benefiber or Metamucil wafers if needed. We actually encourage pts to include high fiber foods into their diet from the beginning, even if they are pureed during the initial phase. We don't teach to avoid it. Hope this helps. -----Original Message-----From: Janelle Heusinger [mailto:jheusinger@...]Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 3:44 PM Subject: Fiber Are there any set fiber recommendations for 1 year post up?

Oh, I think so. I've become a believer in you are what you eat. I know this goes against conventional thinking but I don't think anything extends or shortens life (we are here until we're not--LOL) but proper food intake can extend the quality of life and improper food intake can make for a very debilitating chronic illness. I've lived long enough to see people who abused their bodies and became seriously ill for years and years and yet other people who were active and healthy right up until they dropped dead. Proper diet bolsters the immune system and helps our bodies function properly and fight off disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 When it's not available you can't do it, as far as eating like we know is best. fiber Thanks all for your advice on fiber ! Wow, it brought up some interesting debate on the pros/cons of colonoscopies !!! hmmm what to do. I for one would love to never have one of those invasive techniques. That's motivation to eat right, right there. Maybe if we ate right from day one... healthy diets.. grass fed beef... organic fruits/veg's... our colons would be in awesome shape. Have any of us been that good?! If we change our diets later on can we reverse the bad effects the not so good diet did to us? Who knows what our colon health is really. I guess not having ill symptoms is a good indicator, but enough of one? Could the btd be a preventative,,, on cancer... polyps,,, whatever? Anyway,, turns out my step mom was diagnosed with a slight case of diverticulosis and the doc recommended the high fiber to help with that. I think she'll limit her wheat intake,,,and increase with rice bran. Is psyllium and avoid for O's ? Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi Kay, Welcome to the group. I think you have already seen how helpful the folks are in this group. I am glad you found us. The pool is a great way to get exercise. Thanks for the Questron idea...I will run that by my MD. And yes, I am very slowly introducing the insoluble types of fibers but I was so flared up from the IBS, the MD said to only eat the soluble fibers to allow the inflammation to calm down. I love fruits and vegetables and cannot wait to be able to reintroduce the fresh ones. I am only having applesauce and baby food veggies....not much fun. I am slowly adding the Zand fiber caps, starting with one a day. I am up to three today....woo hoo. I hope to be able to take my oils soon but the MD says I must wait...my oils are so helpful for all the other areas of inflammations. Also, we are still waiting for the labs to come back so we can rule out the possibility of a bug. Take good care of yourself and keep us posted. We all manifest these spondy diseases differently so just keep posting and learning. in CA Have you tried adding a good fiber like the ones that have no taste Benefiber?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Satiety, one of the keys to successful weight loss as pointed out by A. Schnur, MD, is produced by fiber and also by enzymes found in undenatured whey. More pertinent to cancer patients than a cardiac and weight loss post, undenatured whey is specifically indicated for cachexia because it builds quality lean tissue (it's listed for that in the PDR). Undenatured whey has also been used on its own in cancer therapy, where it shrunk cancer, and also in conjunction with chemotherapy; in fact it reduces much of the discomfort of chemo or radiation that is produced by free radical cascades. And, also pertinent is that the immune system depends on it, and so does ATP energy generation; both are markedly low in cancer and other immune system issues. Many people in the know use fiber AND undenatured whey as part of a general health program. The particular fiber they are using is of huge importance to cancer patients too; inulin restores bowel ecology, which when incorrect is the primary factor behind colon cancer, candidiasis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and an aggravating or even causative factor behind several other inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis and lupus, all of which are known to react to toxin load produced by a bad bowel ecology 24 hours a day. Glad to help by summarizing some of the research, weeks of reading in fact, that appears on my website. D. Schnur's Reality diet doesn't even touch on these important points; the reality of it is that there's more to health than fiber.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Dan, Thanks for the quick reply. My husband and I are trying to be better about getting adequate fiber in our diet and cutting back on animal protein at least a couple of days a week. Oh, and I keep forgetting to mention this - but I grew up in Blackfoot and my husband is from Rupert. We made a couple of trips home in August. Looks like there have been a couple of cold fall days for you. I really only miss Idaho in the fall. Must be a harvest thing.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks, Dan. The dry ones don't get stuck? Berta fiber I'm not Sandy, but many like AllBran in one of its varieties or Fiber One. Personally, I use the little miniature shredded wheats, slightly sweetened kind. I do NOT eat them with milk, but I eat them as a snack. Sixteen of them make 100 calories, and I prepackage sandwich bags of them. So I'll always have a couple bags of them in my cupboard at home or my office drawer. If I want a snack, or even a " sweet snack " , others can have their donuts or candy, and I'll have my dry cereal. Not messy at all. Easy to carry in the baggie. Nice and crunchy. And often the bag of sixteen is too many, and it may last a couple or three snacks. dan Tuesday, March 25, 2008, 11:12:36 AM, you wrote: > Can you recommend a good fiber cereal? > -- " It's OK to be a little broken, everybody's broken in this life " Jon Bon Jovi Dan Lester, Boise, Idaho, USA www.mylapband.tk Banded 4/27/03, Dr. Ortiz, Tijuana Started at 355, at goal in the 210-220 range for almost 4 years Ultimate goal of 195 Tummytuck in Boise and SmartLipo in Tijuana ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 , Have you tried adding a salad to your daily meals? I know that when I have a small salad for lunch or dinner, " everything moves through " much better than on the days that I don't.
