Re: Soluble Fibre Supplement at last! UK       01/31/04 10:02 AM Edit Reply Quote Shellsbells Reged: 12/16/03 Posts: 218 Loc: NW England, UK Start slowly and build up. I tried psyllium based soluble fibre gels and they blew me up like a balloon and made me feel worse. Even my poops turned white with it!!! My GP (I'm from the UK too) tells me that psyllium and most other over the counter soluble fibre supplements here ferment in the gut causing bloating and more wind if you're sensitive to them. He prescribed a different one for me which avoids the gas and bloating - it's pure soluble fibre based on vegetable gum/fibre (it's very much like Heather's acacia fibre) called Normacol. I think you might be able to buy it (although I've not seen it anywhere else). It's fab, I've only been taking it a few days and am feeling MUCH MUCH better. If you have any trouble with the one you're taking, ask your GP about Normacol. (You want the plain Normacol, not the Normacol Plus which has a laxative added in too).
