Welcome Seahawk!       03/04/04 07:33 AM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State Hi there Sewhawk! Welcome! The first thing that hit me was your comment: "Water intake falls throughout my day; and, of course, not during a meal." You need to reverse that; water intake throughout the day should increase -- you really need it with the soluble fiber supplement. And why "not during a meal?" Working out four times a week is great -- but that means you need even MORE water. What is "Mintacin"? There is a total absence of insoluble fiber. We need our insolubles as well. Does your wife do the cooking, or do you? A real easy way to add veggies into your diet is in soups or stews. Bananas are great, but they give me a lot of gas. I have one in my fruit smoothie (so I can get more fruit in my diet), but I can't have one every day because of the gas. I'm also a D, and I have my urgent bathrooms runs every morning too -- I have more than one though. I look on it as a blessing; how terrible for all the people here who have C and don't go at all! I note that you have dophilus first thing in the morning, but you don't have your fiber supplement until you get to work, after you've had your banana. Why not have your fiber supplement first thing in the morning, before any food? I take my probiotic in the middle of the night -- usually around midnight -- then my acacia in my tea when I first get up. Then breakfast comes about a half hour later. Have you thought about trying a different supplement? I used to take Citrucel but switched to Heather's acacia, which worked so much better (although I really wasn't taking enough of the Citrucel). I had to gradually increase my dosage, but really GRADUALLY. How much fiber are you taking? If what you're doing isn't working for you, you need to change it. I'd check on my dosage of fiber, drink a lot more water, and work some veggies into my diet. And of course I'd come back here to the Boards for all kinds of help and support! Again, welcome, Seahawk!
