knowing there are 2 of you up front! Glad we are all joking about this. As to the peppermints, I swallow several Altoids whole, as Heather has suggested, immediately after meals and it does settle my stomach down. Try it! And if you're only taking a teaspoon or two of the fiber supplements, you're a wheenie! You have to take more than that for them to help you. Check the amounts of the supplement page Heather has provided. And be faithful about it. If you can't mix the powders in a drink, you could try the tablets, such as Citrucel. And drink lots of water with them or they won't work. I forgot to mention Baked Lay's chips as one of my favorite in between snacks and pita bread and hummus. If you are near a Greek restaurant, get some of this but have them leave the oil off the top of the hummus dip. Have a nice week! And no more almond M & M's, ok?
