I rather the "old fashion" why of softening my stool then using a bunch of pills. Thanks in advance! My favorite high fiber food that can easily, ahem, end backups (and it is yummy yummy yummy ) is split pea soup… make it yourself easy enough with: split peas (dried bean section of grocery store, cheap too) carrots (I use a bag of baby carrots) chicken stock either: bone from a spiral ham with some bits still attached, ham hock or two packets of Goya ham seasoning i pressure cook for about 50 mins in my instant pot and it is sooooo tasty and has about 16 grams of fiber per cup! (If it’s too thick, add Water or stock) I also use lentils too - they have good plant Protein and high fiber 2 summerseeker and Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwarsandcupcakes 2,071 Posted September 22, 2022 Nutritional yeast (adds an aged cheese flavor) chia seed pudding (make with a Protein Shake to add protein) Ground flax seed (use in oatmeal or make flax crackers ) hemp seeds (also a good source of protein) psyllium husk powder (what benefiber is made from) can be mixed into muffins, pancakes, or crackers. A little goes a long way! Cocoa powder 5 Wally199, summerseeker, kcuster83 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Authoa 17 Posted September 23, 2022 Thank you all. I too love pea Soup. I'll also try the seed in my shakes. 1 KimA-GA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pintsizedmallrat 473 Posted September 26, 2022 If this is to "keep things moving", so to speak, you might benefit from consuming Probiotics (either in capsule form or in something like yogurt.). I eat a ton of salads that have lots of fiber and I still had issues and eating a small yogurt every morning has helped a lot. 1 KimA-GA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
