Board 8 > Anybody here on a Daily Fiber Supplement regimen?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I bought a little thing of the powder but I didn't pay attention and it turns it into a kind of fruit punch.

but yea I figured I could use a lil more Fiber in my life

Used to be, then I got diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, which is usually made worse by fiber supplements, apparently

an apple a day

I was, but then I ran out and forgot to pick up another container. And then continued to forget, and continued to forget, and then when I noticed there was no difference from when I was taking it to when I stopped I just never got any more.

I used Benefiber, didn't do anything to the taste or the texture.

I take psyllium husk capsules.

I don't need them, but it uh... helps aspects of my sex life.

Usually takes 4-6 weeks for you to really notice any changes with supplements. So keep at it and see how your body reacts.

this fruit punch flavor is disgusting like seriously

I still smell it too, its like I'm sweating it or something, fuck this shit I hope I can return it

I started having some, feels like a super power after eating a bunch of garbage

the stuff I got was called Metamucil

its pretty hardcore, it helps cholesterol, blood pressure, appetite, AND fiber.

but this berry flavor tasted like shit. There IS a different orange flavor but IDK, this sounds like alot to start with anyways. Plus it was kind of high in carbs, like 5g for a one scoop glass or 10 g for 2 scoop glass. and you are suppose to do like 3 glasses per day.

I was able to return it and I had to look but I found the Benefiber and I think its been going well now.

so after a week of doing this, I ended up not pooping for the last 3 days of that week

I started to get concerned but at the same time I wasn't in any pain or discomfort, it didn't feel like I had a clog

I stopped taking it for a day and then I went normally

It wasn't even much either, it wasn't a plug or anything.

that was weird

Benefiber suggests taking a glass a couple of times a day but I think I'll just do one

When I was doing it I would put ~2 tablespoons in a 36oz bottle of water when I got up in the morning and then drank it within 15 minutes or so.
