I am really missing the whole grains in the bread I used to eat - this used to be only thing to quicken up my sluggish digestive track! Vegetable and fruit fibre have never seemed to work for me.
So from today I've ground some flax seeds and I'm going to have one tablespoon a day which should help. I've just had a spoonful in a glass of warm water and litterally just threw it down my throut. It sounds awful, but it really wasn't that bad if it works. So now I am trying to find creative ways to hide the fibre in my food.
I know there are some lovely sounding recipes for mims, but my husband is fairly adamant that we should keep away from anything that sounds like 'bread', he's likening it to having a placebo cigarette. I'm not sure what to think about that at the minute.
Have now got a challenge!

Jen, you can do this...I have never had a MIM, but hear they are pretty good. I use on occasion, Metamucil Fiber caplets (one or two) - but mostly veggies and salad have always done the trick for me. best of luck finding the right combo for you both...but I know you're up to the challenge!!!

My husband found some sugar free fiber caplets that are the generic of Metamucil. They went right through me.

Try Miralax. It can be mixed with any beverage, I put it in my coffee every morning. It has no flavor and doesn't give you that bloated feeling or gas that fiber does. It has no calories or carbs either.
