   Okay folks, what fiber supplement do you take most often and why?

   What does it do for your body? Do you take it for price, Dr. recommended it, hunger control, laxative effect, assists with regularity more so than other fibers you've tried, low sugar/carbs, etc.???

 

Peace and healthiness,

Marie.

I read this and had a big "what the heck" moment.  I've been using Benefiber in my shakes since day 1.  Why?  I have no clue.  

Maybe I should skip it for a week and see what happens.

Ha ha Gwen, I have those moments just for waking up in the moment (oh my old momma brain)

 

Do not skip your fiber, not fun (trust me).

 

Okay, so Benefiber... Do you just the tablets or powder, with what liquid?

 

I went to the store to grab a fiber supplement and got overwhelmed. I've read all about it online, but just looking for testimonies from others on their favorites.

I use 2 tablespoons of the powder in my shake every morning. In theory, it keeps my stool firm?  Then I use miralax which keeps my bowels moving. 

That's the theory at least...
