    Flaxmeal

    Is flaxmeal allowed in Induction, if it's for fiber(to help with constipation)...or does it count as something in the 'nuts rung'? What about Metamucil?

    Thanks!

      Re: Flaxmeal

      According to Chapter 8 of DANDR 2002, fiber supplements like flax meal, psyllium husks, and wheat bran are allowed for daily fiber supplementation at 1 tablespoon per day. If you are constipated you can use more, until you achieve 'relief'.

              Also, check the sugar content of the flavor of Metamucil you get - it isn't always just psyllium husks. My dad used to get an orange-flavored one that was really really sweet.

                      And you can add more flax dishes once you reach the nuts & seeds rung of OWL too.
                      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
