ROFL, bet that got your attention! No, it's even better or worse, depending on how you are feeling CONSTIPATION!! Oh nooooo, who let her out......you thought I was going to say "Lie back and think of England!" HA!

Seriously though, we are always talking about diets and losing weight so.....

Some people find it difficult to get the recommended 20 to 30 grams of fibre a day from their diet.

Fibre supplements, which are labeled as "bulking agents" on over-the-counter products, are SAFE for long-term treatment of constipation. How about that :))))

The Mayo Clinic Health Letter offers the following advice for people using fibre supplements:

Go slow. Start with a small dose and progress gradually.



Be consistent. Fibre supplements are most effective when taken daily for at least a month.



Drink plenty of fluids. If you don't do that, fibre supplements can make you even more constipated. YIKES!!!

Take fibre supplements before or after meals. They create a feeling of fullness. Take them before meals if you're overweight and take them after meals if you're underweight or normal weight. I found this one interesting :)))

Remember that supplements can't do it all. They contain only part of the required amount of daily fibre. You still need to include high-fibre foods in your diet.

So, for what it was worth OK, I admit it, this Aussie takes one teaspoon of Metamucil each morning (orange flavour). I cannot believe I posted this. Hilary
