Flaxmeal

[Lisa_Rose]

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'.

Thank you not2late. I'll be adding that to my 'mock danish' then

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.

Uh oh...I have the orange one. I'll check it when I get home, thanks for the heads up!

And you can add more flax dishes once you reach the nuts & seeds rung of OWL too.
