Fiber supplements?
| Thu, 01-08-2009 - 10:57am |
I remember a while back some on this board there was talk about taking fiber supplements...is this recommended? Or only as needed? If so, what are the guidelines?
I was looking at some at Target yesterday and there were so many different choices I wasn't sure which would be best. The Benefiber pills had Wheat dextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide Gluten Free (less than 10ppm gluten). Then there was Psyllium Husk - I don't remember and couldn't find all the ingredients but it obviously had Psyllium Seed Husk and other ingredients. Do I need to look at the calories? The Psyllium one had 10 calories per serving which was 5 pills.
I am so confused. Thanks!


Here's a link to the "Vitamins and Supplements" info, and fiber is addressed.
Hi,
In the book Dr. A suggests taking a fiber supplement 30 minutes before every meal.
Cathy,
Thank you.

Carrie,
I had a hard time with the fiber pills but have been adding Benefiber powder to my coffee in the morning -- every little bit helps, I figure, and there's absolutely no grit, taste, etc.
Good luck!
