My tummy is my problem area and while I do need to lose some weight from it, i think some of it is also bloating.
When I wake up in a morning my tummy is not quite flat, but by mid morning there is a noticable difference in its size!!!
I am currently training for a 10km run at the end of May, doing the 30 day shred and counting my cals. I drink roughly 1.5l water daily too.
Is it possible that a fibre supplement might help me? I found an online fibre calculator which suggested that I consume below the recommended amount of fibre on a typical day?
Any opinions would be gratefully received.

Why not add in an extra serving of fruit or vegetables to get the fiber you need instead of a supplement?
I doubt a supplement will help the bloat. It could be due to your body not used to an increase of fiber, water rentention, etc. A supplement may make things worse especially if you are only drinking about 1.5l of water a day.
I would up the water a bit and maybe add in an extra serving of fruit or vegetables.0 -
If you wake up with an almost flat stomach, I don't think fiber is going to help your issue. I would take a hard look at what you are eating for breakfast. If it's wheat and dairy, you are probably looking at the bloat culprit right there.0

Usually I start with a weightwatchers yoghurt and fruit, so yes, some dairy.0
