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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
