Fiber and osteoporosis       10/08/04 08:49 AM Edit Reply Quote AstroChick Reged: 12/30/03 Posts: 1023 Loc: Chicago, IL, USA Welcome! I don't know about Benefiber, but I put acacia in hot peppermint tea all the time (dissolving it first in tepid water to prevent lumps). You might want to check the label of your Benefiber to see if there's any restrictions that they list. Calcium pills are fine, but you have to take the right one *and* balance out the calcium with magnesium to keep you regular (too much calcium leads to C, too much magnesium leads to D). There have been tons of posts about this - do a board search for calcium and magnesium to find 'em. My favorite is called "CalSnack", and it has both calcium and magnesium. Also note that, per Heather's book, exercise and reducing the amount of animal protein in your diet will probably do more to prevent osteoporosis than chugging calcium will! Fortunately, what's good for IBS also turns out to be good for your bones as well. --AC (recently got an off-the-charts high bone density reading!) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
