Heather touches on this a little in "The First Year." See p. 162.
Quote:
Soluble fiber supplements can be taken daily forever with no side effects or risk of addiction.
She's also discussed it in the Boards here, so you might try a search. As I recall, that warning on the box not to take for an extended period of time is just to "cover their a**."
There's only a half gram soluble fiber in Equalactin, as in Fibercon and Citrucel capsules -- VERRY little.
I'm glad the Equalactin is working for you. I don't use it every day; I keep it in my purse for emergencies only. Have you tried any of the powders, like Benefiber or Heather's Acacia? Citrucel gets thick and has a taste, so I don't care for it, but Benefiber and Acacia both have no taste and don't thicken. Benefiber especially dissolves instantly. The reason I mention it is that the powder has twice as much soluble fiber than the pills, and I believe much more economical. Just a thought.
However, if something's working for you, don't fix it. Sounds like you have a happy tummy -- and that's the bottom line. Congratulations.
