Pages: 1 Fibre supplement problems?       #43113 - 02/04/04 04:15 PM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 I recently tried fibre supplements because I had constipation-based IBS. Two days after I started them I got 'd' and have had it for almost two weeks which is super rare for me. Has anyone had this happen to?

I actually saw my doctor yesterday and he said that it shouldn't cause it.

There's one available in Canada called FibreSmart. I've been using both the powder and capsules for over a week now - and they're GREAT! Good luck! j Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: what's in fibre smart?       #44957 - 02/14/04 05:20 AM Edit Reply Quote LauraS Reged: 01/26/04 Posts: 75 Just wondered, What's in FibreSmart? I'm having a tough time finding anything other than Metamucil in Montreal...

It is a little pricey, you should be able to find it at a health food store. I tried the powder and all I can say is YUCK! Go for the pills if you want to try. It appears to have a bit of insoluble fibre in it (as it all doesn't completely dissolve) but I have taken it after a glass of acacia.
