I have been having trouble getting insoluable fiber in my diet. This may be some of my big C problem. I use to eat carrot sticks, apples, celery, cucumbers etc. all the time as a healthy snack but now I don't because it would be eating insoluable fiber on an empty stomach. How do you best fit this in. I know my body needs the good nutrition that these fruits and veggies have to offer, plus I am so C all the time that my body really isn't getting fiber to keep me regulated. Should I be having some insoluable fiber with every meal? Any suggestions!

Carrots and PEELED apples are SF. But yes, you do need IF. You could make a fruit smoothie and add some acacia powder for your SF. Or put fruit in your oatmeal (which is both SF/IF). Beans are a combination of SF/IF.
I eat a ton of fruits/veggies every day, but I either include a little pasta, rice or potato along with them or right before. You could also eat a piece of white bread before fruits or veggies for your SF cushion. A flour tortilla is SF....you could make a wrap and fill it with different kinds of cooked veggies.
Keep drinking lots of water!!!!

Hey Sharon, Thanks for the help here! I will try to do as you suggested. Is the Acacia powder the same as Benefiber? I have a bunch of Benefiber and didn't want to get something else that was going to do the same thing. I will do as you suggested and try to add more fruits and veggies.
Thanks!

Hi I am c as well One of the things that I do is make veggie soup or even chicken noodle add in some celery just in little pieces and add in a few frozen green beans or can ones along with some souble like carrots and zuchiunie even fix some c- bread for more souble. I started making blueberry muffins the recipes on here if you search for it if you can't find it let me know its callled simple blueberry muffins and theres vegan when I first started making these I cut the blueberrys in half and as I got use to them I up it there wonderful for a snack and you have a if and a souble. I love making Kress crockpot chicken stew (dh favorite) and some times I have these with it or some pumpkin bread or zuchnnie bread. Smoothies are a gret way to add if back in start with like a banana or a peach and just add a few blueberries or starwberries til you get use to it! Hth!  Good luck
