This is all quoted from Heather right here ......
Quote:
*For the soluble fiber powders (Acacia Tummy Fiber™, Citrucel, Benefiber)
Start at 1/2 - 1 level teaspoon twice a day and over the next week or two (or three or four) work up to 2-4 tablespoons twice a day, or the equivalent of 12-25 grams of soluble fiber supplement per day. Some people may need a maximum dose of 30 grams per day. If you stabilize at a lower dose, simply stay there.
For the soluble fiber pills (Equalactin, Citrucel, Fibercon)
Start at 2 pills twice daily and work up to 2 pills six times daily, or the equivalent of 12-15 grams soluble fiber supplement per day. I do not recommend Benefiber chewable tablets, as they contain sorbitol, an artificial sweetener that can cause cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and gas in people who don't even have IBS - imagine what they can do to you.
Quote:
Breakfast: a bowl of ceral (frosted flaks)
w/ soy milk. Three slices of toast (Honey Wheat)
Lunch: 2 turky burgers w/ lettuce, tomatoe, honey mustard and bbq sauce. And ice tea
I also take Benefiber. 3 tablets 4Xs a day.
Is that too much? or not enough?
