Poopin'

Bumdrahp

SO... I was just wondering...My father always said " fiber is super important" and one should use the bathroom to " #2" at LEAST 2 times a day, if not more.

Um.. I can't go that often

How regular is regular? I have been trying to get fibers in my diet.. but... poopin' aint easy!

Buy some Kashi cereal and in a day or two you will know what it is like to have enough fiber!

Fiber one isn't good enough?!

Cook with pure coconut oil and it will be a natural relief.

I have had both and Kashi really works for me. I really don't have trouble in that area anyway, but I know getting the fiber is good for you even if you aren't having trouble.

Once every day or every other day. If I eat more fiber than that, it is very unpleasant. But my pediatrician would always ask if I was going once a day.

At my annual physical, my doctor, who also happens to be a gastroenterologist, always asks and says that "daily" is ideal... I don't know for sure, but I personally have no issues in that area and that lines up with my general experience...

Kashi, just regular Kashi cereal?

Yes, but I like the Berry Krunch kind. It's very tasty as well

Yeah see i go once every other day IF that.. it gets uncomfortable feeling bloated all day. I want to feel like I can run faster and jump higher!

eating 280g of protein a day makes me have to bomb it out once or twice a day. If I go longer I feel super fat.

I normally go once everyday or everyday...that's normal for me. You can always try a fiber supplement like metamucil to help if you feel like you need more fiber in your diet.

I do agree that fiber is important, but how frequently you go varies from person to person. I only go once a day, and that is normal for me, but there are people who go several times a day or only once every few days. If you are constipated all the time, you probably do need more fiber (and more water), but if your only concern is that you're only going one time a day, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

It's not too bad, and I have to watch that as I am diabetic. I think one serving is 10 sugar

We had this discussion at work one day and one of my co-workers was going to the doctor that day so we had him ask and his response from his doc was 1 x a day is the norm for people.

I think I average 3x a week... It's starting to tick me off. LOL!! Maybe Metamucil isnt a bad idea.

put a teaspoon of mineral oil in a fruit smoothie. Done deal...and drink tons of water.

I'll check this out!

Have you tried the Fiber Gummies-- they are actually quite good. 2 per day will help keep you regular (although I am an every other day gal).

mangosabayon

Once a day. Fiber can cause constipation if you're not drinking enough water. Drink plenty of fluids and walk daily. Fiber, water, walking ....best combo.

SLRamirez2012

Fiber One cereal for sure!!!! I go at least two times a day!!!
