Fibre - really strugling...

My system seems to work fine on what little fibre I do get - but I wanted to add fibre for general gut health.

my appetite is minimal 1year post-op, and I basically only eat protein (some carbs now and again), but very small portions.

do I need additional fibre? My farts have been pretty smelly lately, so I was hoping to boost the good gut bacteria to try to combat that. Immediately after my op, my farts didn't smell at all, but now, 1 year later, they're back with a vengeance!!!

That'll be the carbs!

I eat very few carbs.

At the most, it's a small bowl (we're talking a babies bowl!) of muesli w/whole milk on an evening...

A small bowl of muesli and whole milk has more carbs than I eat in a day!

U.K small is about 30g. Muesli is about 50% carbs, so around 15g carbs there, plus whole milk at 5% carbs - let's say 20'ish g carbs total.

Again, as Kim said, that is more carbs than I eat in a day ... at five years out.

Also, I am sure she is aware of UK measurements. She is from there.

I find using a probiotic helps with the smelly gas problems. I use the Barriatric Advantage brand cause there made for a WLS patient

Benifibre in the evening with a cap full of Laxaday. I needed this and it was the direction given to me by my medical team. No issues since. Plus I drink it in 2 cups of skim milk for the protein. Works wonders if you like milk which I do :)
