YAAY! We have a face now! Makes you more real, ya know? I like it.
I don't take Equalactin as my "main" fiber supplement; I take acacia. Equalactin is only for those times when I need some help -- like going to a restaurant or eating at a friend's house, or having a stressful meeting (like this afternoon). I pop an Equalactin beforehand, and it provides a "base" -- maybe it's just mental, but it works for me better than Fibercon or Citrucel. It's also very portable. As you said, it's really more of a "take-as-needed" thing. The powder supplement, like acacia or Citrucel powder, provides more fiber than the pills; you have to take an awful lot of pills to get enough soluble fiber to really help.
It's not at all like beans. I had that same confusion, but Heather straightened me out. I tried to find her post but wasn't able to, unfortunately. Beans are tough on me too, so I know what you're talking about. However, you do have to start out slowly with the fiber supplements.
Turkey -- WHITE MEAT turkey -- is the best; I eat deli smoked turkey breast all the time. I have high cholesterol, and I'm on a very strict regime. I told my doc I was going to go mostly vegan, cutting out all poultry, and he said to cut out chicken but not turkey breast; also, salmon and tuna are staples of my diet from now on (excellent sources of omega-3 and omega-6 oils).
It's not the turkey, Joseph.
Again, good to see you! Now I know who I'm talking to -- a very handsome dude!
