OT : Fiber , How do you get it ?

[Smiley]

Not carbone Fiber but the real fiber , its good for you but we never get enough of it. I drink the stuff seeing I have a history of colon cancer in my family. Metamucil is what I drink , gotten used to the stuff and would drink more of it if I could keep it from conglomerating. So whats your Fiber secret ?

Mix with hot water and drink fast.

oatmeal, whole wheat bread, popcorn, cashews, grapes, apples, pears.

The right bread, the right cereals, and fruit/vegetables.

Pretty simple if you know what to eat. Good info here: http://www.gicare.com/pated/edtgs01.htm and here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fiber/NU00033

As much of the natural stuff as I can, plus psyllium husks from whole foods. No sugar, no additives, just raw husks. I take two table spoons a night with a full cup of water. It takes a little getting used to, but once you become accustomed to the consistency, not so bad at all.

I prefer the natural husks to the ground up stuff like Metamucil, both because of the consistency and the pureness.

Try their #1 and #2....

Oh yeah, the # 2 will make you go _________ (fill in blank).

Expensive, but very effective.

Good luck,

Can't be beat! Eat a few after dinner almost every night. Dried figs and prunes are yummy, too.

Lots and lots o' veggies. I laugh at the government suggested helpings, as we usually eat far more of fruits and vegetables than is recommended.

[morty]

Switch to a vegetarian diet (or better yet VEGAN) and you'll never have anymore worries in that department :butt:

Balsa wood.

Kidding.

Golden Flax seed in a clean coffee mill over anything.

[davids]

Whole grain cereals and bread. And prunes. Seriously - They're yummy and good for you, too.

...I should eat more veggies, though.

[Dekonick]

the right kind 'o bread.

Costco is now selling a whole wheat loaf that has a whopping 5 grams of fibre per slice. Will help keep you clean....

also think about one of those killer blenders (vitamix etc...) You can blend anything - Puree of firewood anyone? Seriously - they will beat the crap out of sh*t and make it liquid - Yummmy:)

[soulspinner]

Kashi go leans and cliff bars while riding...fiber and protein

[Changster]

I am fiber deficient and have been taking Fibre Choice tablets twice a day which gives you an additional 4 grams. Comes in different flavors. :D

steve, has the stuff really helped you? not doubting, just curious. aside from the intestinal impact, have you felt better?

whole wheat donuts

If you can go to the donut shop and come away with a box of whole wheat donuts, there's something very wrong with you...

[guyintense]

Dried apricots and prunes are a great source of fiber and regularity but watch the labels. Dole and a lot of other companys put potassium sorbate and sulfur dioxide on the fruit to preserve color and freshness. It may preserve the fruit but I don't think it works the same for you.
