You can get (certified) gluten-free oatmeal and steel-cut oats. Also, there are pastas made from lentils or black beans, that have 12 grams of fiber per serving, if you have room for some carbs. Beans are a source of soluble and insoluble fiber.0

Not trying to be rude but I already said I am allergic to the actual oat.
I do have room for some carbs and will look into those, but I gave to be really careful with new products.0 -
Sorry. Good luck with finding good products. There are recommendations on the internet for safer (better due-dilligence) companies when it comes to gluten-free.0

Thank you. I tend to find companies that I trust and then just stick with them. The problem I find is that a lot of companies use gluten free oats and will used shared equipment. Unfortunately oat is actually my worst allergy, so even trace amounts cause me to react. The best companies I have found though are actually European companies since they tend to have stricter standards than the US ones. Thankfully, after a few hard years, I have found what questions to ask to ensure my safety.0 -
I don't know how much fiber you are trying to consume daily, but I generally get 30+ daily. I not only have issues with gluten, but also soy, yeast, msg and a whole bunch of preservatives. It is possible.
I know it is possible, the problem I seem to face is some of the foods high in fiber, I don't like the taste of, and I refuse to eat things I don't like. That was the issue with the quest bars.
I can understand what you are saying in regards to quest bars..... but here is an example of my foods in a day... and this particular day had 38g fiber. I listed total intake at end of each meal and the number in brackets after each item is the fiber for that item.
Breakfast

Heartland Gold Organic - Brown Rice Protein , 2 scoop (4)
Generic - Dole Baby Spinach, 1 cups (1)
Larabar - Cashew Canada, 1 bar (3)
Irresistables - Caribbean Flavor Mixed Fruit, 92.4 g (1)
=11 g fiber
snack
Iogo - Yogurt, 200 g (0)
Zucchini muffins (Gluten free), 1 serving(s) (3)

lunch
Cabbage - Raw, 147 g (3)
President's Choice - Extra Chunky Hot Salsa, 3 tbsp (0)
Clover Leaf - Low Sodium, Flaked Light Tuna, 120 g (0)
Orange - Clementine, 222 g (1 ea) (4)
=7 g fiber
snack
Bollo - Santa Claus Melon, 169 gr (0)
Nakd - Cocoa Orange (Canada), 35 g (2)
Blueberries - Raw, 156 g (4)

Thank you for the example. I seem to pass up foods that have small amounts of fiber (because in my mind I think we'll it won't help lol) but seeing your example shows a little bit adds up in the end._Terrapin_ wrote: »Black soybeans?!?

Bacon wrapped asparagus has no calories right??? (Drool, now I want bacon lol).i munch on Fiber One cereal as a snack. Lots in there
No can do. Contains wheat and oat.0 -
I have another lentil recipe to try! This was a one dish/one pot meal, no grains at all, about 325 calories per serving. It made 4 generous servings, with 19 grams of fiber each. I doubled the amounts of vegetables, including using a large can of Italian size tomatoes (the can that had six servings for about 150 calories for the whole can). I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for more fiber and because I really like how their sweetness offsets the earthy flavor of lentils. As per my usual way, I only used a teaspoon of oil to start the veggies sauteing. The flavor of this improved the second day. I also used a salt free seasoning blend from Trader Joe's to add a nice layer of flavor to it.

That looks and sounds absolutely amazing. I'll give it a try on my next day off (Monday).0 -
Everyday I seem to be rather low in fiber. I had been trying different flavors of quest bars but I honestly hate the taste. I can't justify eating something I don't like the taste of. I eat a lot of fruit and veggies but apparently not enough to reach my fiber goal. I am looking for foods (or supplements) that are high in fiber. I cannot eat wheat, barley, oat or gluten at all. I had tried psyllium capsules but they were so low per capsule it didn't help.
For me it's raspberries0
