Question... Fiber supplements, are they ok?

[Motivated 1980]

I want to make sure that my system is being cleaned out regularly and I don't think that I'm going as often as I should and I don't want to break any rules. Please, if you have any suggestions let me know of any products or anything that you think will work. Thank You in advance!

Re: Question... Fiber supplements, are they ok?

Most natural fiber supplements will be okay. Just read the ingredients information carefully as I've seen some that actually contain sugar (mainly the flavored ones like Metamucil).

When I was in induction I regularily used FiberSure without any problems. All natural psyllium fiber and tasteless so you can mix it or cook it into pretty much anything. A word of caution, though...if you're going to take a fiber supplement you MUST increase your water intake significantly. If you don't, you might as well be pouring cement into your intestines...believe me...I know

All the best,

Yep, I take 2 psyllium husk tablets morning and night if I need to get things moving! DANDR mentions these are OK as they have no impact on blood sugar.
