I've posted this on a few other boards, but I want some help, so I'll try here too . . .
Any recommendations for a good fiber supplement? Although I try to eat a balanced diet (tons of water, try to eat high fiber foods), I can't seem to "get regular". Laxatives work - but are not a solution, and can't be used long-term. I've tried the fiber tablets (generic Fiber Con I think), but it didn't work for me. I just bought Benefiber today - its a powder that you mix into any beverage or "soft" food. It's sugar free too. The bottle says not to consume more than 5 tbsp's per day. Each tbsp has 20 cal & 3g dietary fiber/soluable fiber. Anyone have any experience with this product? Any other recommendations?? Thanks!
