Supplemental fiber!

[simply dave]

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Has anyone tried psyllium husk?
I've been researching different stuff and came across it.
The conventional (supermarket shelf) stuff doesn't seem to do much for me accept for bloat and gas.

I supplement with bulk psyllium fiber. I buy it in 5lb bags from bulkfoods.com and I add it to my whey protein shakes every time. You have to "work up" to the proper dose as if you overdo it, it'll cramp you up at first. If you go this route, start out low and work up to it.

Psyllium is the ingredient in metamucil. The stuff works wonders. Its not like other fibers because it is "bulk forming". This means it absorbs a ton of water, so your poops will be huge and nice and soft and your body can move them through your intestine much easier because of the size. I take it at night and have a giant poop every morning. It takes me like 15 seconds to poop instead of sitting there reading half the dictionary waiting for something to happen.

It is kinda funny, but he's dead on to rights. Taking psyllium will do that! LOL!

Not sure if this is TMI, but you'll also find that you don't need as much toilet paper to wipe your ass!

I love some of the fiber one products... don't go crazy with it.... but even the loaf of wheat breat and cottage cheese have fairly good nutrition facts and loaded with fiber without having to consume to many extra calories.

all natural peanut butter spread on a piece of whole wheat fiber one toast is a nice little fiber bomb with positive nutrient qualities.
