Fiber?

Does everyone take a fiber supplement? Which is the best choice for a bandster to avoid excess gas and other GI problems?

I do... Fiber Choice sugar-free chewables, I take 2 of them twice a day. Can't really comment on avoiding excess gas since I've just learned to live with it and hope nobody notices ;)

I'm actually more worried about gas pain in my pouch or lower stomach...gas coming from either end is just a fact of life now laugh.gif

I'm a vegetarian and eat more than enough fruits and vegetables to get enough fiber. My bowels agree ; )

Though my Dr. did suggest fiber powder at the beginning right after surgery for the first couple of weeks but not for life - you should be getting enough from the food you eat.

If you have gas pain take a gas x pill or beano before meals that you know could cause it. It happens sometimes. Getting too much fiber may actually make you more gassy.
