Thanks Shannon! I feel great too and have no digestive-related problems. Maybe you hit it on the head. Eat as clean as we can, then just trust our own bodies!

Trusting our bodies and how we feel is really the only thing that people should pay attention to. Once I'm feeling awesome, I am awesome.

When I first started paleo I was stressing constantly about what I was doing that was right from wrong, but now I'm plenty more relaxed as I've gotten the hang of things and I learnt quickly that if it's for you, you will feel great. If not, go back to what you were doing before. Once you're happy, and your body is happy that's all that matters.

Ah ha, I finally found the post...

I don't care one bit how much fibre I get. The amount that I get from my veggies is obviously more than enough. Some days I don't even eat many veggies. If the Inuit survived in the Arctic without fibre, I'm pretty sure that I will be ok. In fact, pre lifestyle change I was getting far more fibre in my unhealthy diet and I can assure you that my intestinal health was FAR from good.

(I just threw out my flaxseed meal-brand new unopened package. I thought it was "healthy" at one time, but like so many things, I was lied to. Omega 3s should come from animals primarily.)

I would ban over the counter fibre products if I could.

If it makes you feel any better, my friend has basically lived off fibre product for several years because she couldn't have a BM with out them. And sadly every time she went back to her doctor they told her she wasn't getting enough fibre. They gave her more fibre and stronger laxatives so was using more and stronger products to get the same results. Shes 25 and otherwise skinny "heatlhy" and fit btw. I told her all about how the "benefits" of fibre were actually making it worse so she switched to a paleo diet and rocked out the coconut oil...and guess who doesn't need nasty fibre and laxatives any more. If that's not proof I don't know what is.
