I eat oatmeal or raisin bran in the mornings, and eat whole-wheat breads and lots of fruits/veggies. It's in more things than you think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21255 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:28:26 +0000 Mrs. D 21255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying so hard to get enough fiber, but I'm pretty sure I don't. I do my best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21252 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:25:32 +0000 Andrea 21252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I feel like I am obsessed with fiber...or more like I an obsessed with being regular! If something has a lot of fiber in it I am all over it. Ha! However, I don't really know if high fiber foods really make me feel more full although that is what they say it should do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21219 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:55:43 +0000 mrskc 21219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to eat 2 servings of fruit a day like apples and oranges. I also snack on Almonds, and I make sure to eat whole wheat. That seems to keep me regular. Yogurt is also good for digestion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21214 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:49:25 +0000 winniebee 21214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been eating a fiber one bar daily for the past year or so. I feel like it's a lot of fiber! It kind of wreaks havoc on my digestive track now that I'm pregnant so I cut back the past few months. I like them b/c they keep me full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21154 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:16:38 +0000 Maysprout 21154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: It was kind of a funny social experiment to watch other peoples reaction, they obviously heard it but would try not to react. It was pretty embarrassing but I think it was just as embarrassing for everyone around me too. Fiberone only lasted a week in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21126 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:01:37 +0000 Rosie Girl 21126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Thats my problem lately! I have horrible gas this pregnancy, but am constipated! So my Dr wants me to eat more fiber, but what if I just get more gas?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21121 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:56:02 +0000 Mrs. Bee 21121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: lol! i have enough gas now post baby, i don't need any more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21117 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:54:30 +0000 Red 21117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started eating a lot more fiber when I got pregnant, especially since I wanted to avoid pregnancy constipation. I usually eat it the form of wheat toast (the double-fiber kind) in the morning with breakfast but will down a glass of metamucil if I skip breakfast. Fruits and veggies are great too.</p> <p>BTW, the fiber one bars are awesome but don't eat too many your first few days cause you'll get nasty stomach aches since your body isn't used to so much fiber. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21110 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:50:35 +0000 Maysprout 21110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I tried eating super fiber cereal and foods for a bit. I think all it did was make us fart uncomfortably in public more. Now we're mainly vegetarians, though eat meat occasionally, and I think we get an appropriate amount of fiber without the need to fart continuously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21108 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:50:15 +0000 T.H.O.U. 21108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oatmeal in the mornings, salads for lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21105 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:49:39 +0000 Rosie Girl 21105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not nearly enough! My Dr actually just told me to start taking some extra fiber, like fiber one, or all these other kinds that I can't remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-a-lot-of-fiber-every-day#post-21099 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:48:31 +0000 mrbee 21099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a physical today. The doctor recommended I greatly increase my fiber intake, up to 30 grams a day. Yikes, that's a lot!</p> <p>I will buy some Fiber One (his recommendation) and try that out for a while. He said that fiber (along with water) will make me feel more full. That sounds good to me!</p> <p>Do you eat a lot of fiber every day? How do you get all that fiber in your system? </p>
