July 13, 201115 yr Does everyone take a fiber supplement? Which is the best choice for a bandster to avoid excess gas and other GI problems?
July 13, 201115 yr 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
July 13, 201115 yr Author 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
July 13, 201115 yr 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.
