Fiber Routine

[drscorpio]

Since I have prescriptions to take morning and evening, I generally take 3-4 PUR after lunch which separates it pretty well in time like @Oldercumslut was talking about. I like it because it gets me psyllium, chia, and flax all together. 

It doesn't replace douching, but it sure makes it go easier.

A tablespoon of Metamucil in a glass of water every night. Part of my routine. I stay so much cleaner. 
a bigger issue is making sure that I don't use too much water when douching. You just want to clean the anus and rectum. Once into the colon you unleash a lot.

I'm on a clinical weight loss program and I need to get more dietary fiber.  But when I look at the nutritional panel on things like Metamucil it looks like it basically has almost none in there?  What's a good product that would help on my diet and also help keep things cleaned out?

I use whole psyllium husk (i.e. not ground to a powder) - Trader Joe's (and many other outlets) carries the NOW brand which works well for me. I find the whole husks stick together better on the way out than the powder does. It is 70% dietary fiber by weight (7g fiber per 10g serving size).

Thanks for the suggestion.  That sounds like something I should check out.  I am supposed to get 22g of dietary fiber a day and I find it a struggle to get more than 1/2 that reliably.  About every 3-4 days I will go over, sometimes way over, but a lot of days I'm only getting 6-10g.  It would probably be a lot better if there was something I could take daily and more on days when I am running short.

It isn't super critical on my diet, the main goals are to keep under the daily calorie count, get at least 135g of Protein a day and stay under 150g of Carbs.  I've also got a fat gram number I'm supposed to try to stay under but they say it isn't critical as long as I'm getting the Protein in and not going over carbs or calories.

Making things easier to clean out would just be a really nice extra, because that can be a chore sometimes.

Having read this helpful thread, I got Psyllium Husk fibre with probiotics 4000mg from Amazon.

experience some bloatedness initially, but now it makes my routine much easier. Not having to use endless amount of toilet rolls and just a quick douche is sufficient for my next hookup.

Thanks guys !
