Benefiber, Is It Possible..



Recommended Posts

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? :unsure:

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
