Okay, so I decided I needed to add Fiber to my diet, instead of relying on Mirilax.

Started taking 2 chewable Fiber tablets each day.

Whoa.....

Look out.....

Stand clear........

And don't pull my finger.

I thought the same thing and started adding Benefiber to my diet. It took me a month to figure out what was going on. OMG!!!! Stay away from the fiber!

Yay for going the fiber route! Miralax is gentle as laxatives go, but it's still a laxative. I was an on-again-off-again laxative abusing bulimic, and fortunately have no lasting ill effects. My younger sister regularly abused laxatives for years and her system has never recovered. Now she HAS to use Miralax and also has been put on IBS meds. So yeah, I'm all about fiber vs. laxatives these days.

I've been using Benefiber (or the generic knockoff) for over a year now. I had to work my way up to the full daily amount, as it does make you produce more gas at first. I'd say it took a couple of months to get my body fully adjusted. But even though my diet contains a lot of Protein, the fiber via the Benefiber and regular dietary fiber (mostly in legumes) has kept me as regular as clockwork. (LOL TMI)

I put a heaping tablespoon in my hot tea once each day. It's nearly flavorless, and has no texture at all. Love it!
