  • daily fiber caps

    Just wanted to know if I could take this fiber cap on while on induction.

    here is the facts....

    total fat 0 g

    total carbs 2.2g
    dietaryfiber- 2.2g
    soluble fiber 1.8g
    insoluble fiber- 0.4g
    sugars- 0g

    protein 0g
    calcium- 5mg
    sodium 2mg
    potassium - 22mg
    -----------------
    concentrated fiber blend 2.5g
    psyllium seed husks
    acacia gum
    soy fiber (non-GMO)
    oat bran
    Apple pectin extrAct
    ---------


    Just wanting to know if that would effect induction at all or if it's okay to take during this phase.

    Thanks

    (The reason I'm needing this is it's been 2 weeks for me and heard fiber helps)

    Jellybee,

    Have you tried just using the psyllium? That is what I used when I was having the same challenge, I still use psyllium a few times a week as I just like it and it keeps me on an even keel. Alot cheaper then the pills etc.
    Whatever you choose, make sure you drink plenty of water!

      Thanks Bren but do you think the fiber pills are okay to take. That they wont mess up induction or make me stall?

                    still not doing so well... I might have to try veggie laxies.... nervous about that though... We'll see I might give it another day...

                    and maybe get the flax meal...

                    thanks

                    have a good day

                      the glycerine suppositories work quickly and are very gently about 20-40 min wait.
