The fiber chews I bought seem to be made from Inulin now that I'm reading the back, the brand is Fiber Choice, I was just hoping for a no-calorie solution to this. I saw Metamucil as well and that seems to be 25 cals. per 5g fiber, are there other choices or do they all have calories?

My centre suggests not using a pysillium fibre (Metamucil) as it binds after it has dissolves in liquids and can cause blockages. Pysillium fibre however does not. 

You can find a pysillium fibre powder mix usually anywhere that sells benefibre or Metamucil. I use my grocery stores own brand, much less expensive as well.

Good luck, you will find this gets better the more foods you add to our diet and as poet Kelly mentions, add beans to our diet as well, those really help.
