I've been eating applesauce every couple of days to keep me regular, but I thought I would try benefiber with Probiotics to see if that would work better. Bought it yesterday and ate two wafers at the same time, (I didnt realize you take one in am and one in pm)and when I got home , had headache, I figured I was hungry ate my dinner and felt better and yes it did work. Today I took one after Breakfast and ever since have headache again but also with what feels like a back pain, and (bloated tummy) I've taken tylenol, and on my 3rd bottle of Water (I never drink that much) that I don't need benefiber everyday,

I was not eating enough at beginning (3x a day) but now eat 3x a day plus mid am/ mid pm Snacks. and its probably 1/4 to 1/2 cup. And all the water I can .

Any suggestions?

hi i read ur post i had the lap band done 2.5 years i ago. try taking fiber pills, i take one in morning and one at night also try fiber u can put in water. a dr told me that after you have lap band ur stool gets hard and it's hard to go and it sure dose it's like craping a brick lol. well good luck and i sure do hope this helps you

I put benefiber in my am coffee everyday and still have issues. I try to up my water intake to help the sitution

I try to stay away from any sort of fiber that will swell. Back in 2009 someone here at LBT told me about vitafusion brand gummies (Target) and I have been using them ever since. I swear by the brand because the gummies don't get hard like other gummie style vits. I've tried. They are very easy to chew, melt in your mouth, and taste great. The dose is 2 gummies, but I do fine taking one every day.

I add benefiber non flavored powder to greek yogurt for breakfast and take Vitafusion fiber gummies in the morning and at night.

thanks ladies, lots of good ideas to try
