In Re: NYTimes article-didn't eat

[Guest guest]

We have a family history of diverticular disease as well as colon cancer. Fiber

is extremely important to preventing these. So we give the benefiber for the

" soluable fiber " which is important to avoiding the cancer and he eats whole

grain bread and popcorn which both have soluable fiber which helps balance

moister in the colon and keeps stools from getting painful as long as a

reasonable amount of fluids are also consumed. This is good for avoiding

diverticular disease. Does fig syrup have fiber in it or does it have a

laxative effect? I've never heard of fig syrup! I have heard that figs have a

laxative effect.

brings out a characteristic of AS I don't usually see mentioned: they're not

particularily motivated by hunger. I know of a couple of AS children who went up

to 3 days without eating anything rather than giving in and finishing the food

on their plates.
