Believe me I did my research on that much fiber. In many countries it is the norm....for instance in some parts of China the average is 77 grams per day. Even Heather makes the comment about fiber that scientists even recommend up to 60 gms a day. In my research I also found out that in countries where they eat very high fiber people have less intestinal problems than we do. Anyway, when I was at 35-40 grams of fiber is when I was having 7 bm in the am and they were very loose and small...but no cramping. Now at 60 grams I am down to 3 really hefty BM in the AM but start to cramp later. Go figure. I do get most of it from food source...I eat lots of fruit and veggies (steamed). Kashi cereal (8 grams per cup a mix of sF and IF). Ground flax and beans....high fiber bread and tortillas. Anyway, it actually is pretty easy I eat a small amount of high fiber every couple of hours. I drink about 100 oz of water per day. Don't eat meat, but do chicken and fish. I really like having those nice big BM, but would love to get rid of the cramping. Now I'm afradi if I reduce the fiber, I will go back to small, incomplete BM. I'm stumped.
