Anyone here take fibre supplements

OverTheCounter · Oct 9, 2014

I take fibre supplements not out of necessity but out of habit.

Have to pop a few psyllium husk pills a day in order to. feel complete. Not that it doesn't help me. It does. It helps be achieve that vaunted smooth long contiguous bowel so highly prized by that forum Neanderthal ESND.

What fibre supps do you take if any and do they help?

Magnesium supplements. Because most pple suffer from magnesium deficiency, and constipation is one of the symptoms. Hence even if you take lots of fibre, but if u still lack magnesium, you'll still kena constipation.

Take 2 magnesium pills every day for prevention. Take 4 pills for mild constipation. Take 6 pills for severe constipation. Take 8 pills for killer constipation (eg. the type where you've constipated for a few days liao, and you suspect if you constipate any longer, it'll kill you).

Could try metamucil, though it is more of a laxative I think.

If you are troubled by constipation, Bekunis herbal laxative tea will help you.

Sometimes exercise will do the trick. Go for a jog.

I used to have problems but it went away when I started juicing daily.

I'm also now adding different kinds of pulses(beans) to my diet. I find the easiest way to do this is buy Bob's Mills dry soup mixes which consists a mixture of dry beans & I simply add water & veggies to the mix to make a soup. I get it from iHerb

However I've also seen the Bob Mills products being sold in shops like NTUC. Beans are a healthy source of nutrition.

Honestly, if you are able to drink one full cup of plain water when you wake up before consuming anything, it helps to ease the bowel. Easiest and most effective way for the purpose of allowing smoother "traffic" flow.

the multi-vitamin pack from trader joe's has a high dose of an important ingredient: magnesium. the probiotics obtainable from whole foods is very potent with 100 billion flora per capsule. the shit cums out type 4 all the time. this morning, i wiped once, and there was hardly any stain. i save a lot on toilet paper. :o

I've been juicing for 1+ year & I notice that within half an hour of drinking the juice I can see the results in the toilet :biggrin:

I am now very regular.

The recipe I use is quite similar to the Gerson anti-cancer recipe: kale, Swiss Chard, beetroot, carrot & apple. Since I'm now more seasoned I've reduce the amount of carrots & only use 1 apple.

I also take a good multi-vitamin by Garden of Life. They have different multi-vitamin product depending on your sex & age group. It is also raw & from natural food sources.
