    I'm not really knocking the sawdust in cellulose: termites seem to like it.. It's the fact that corn tends to horn in there, too. :s

    I have to say that I have not had plumbing issues. That may be TMI for everyone. I ignore the fiber column on MFP, but I did install the script to do the subtraction for me to computer net carbs.

    Leafy greens cooked with a little bacon grease in the pot are amazingly good, and the net carbs are low due to the fiber content. My fondness for them might explain the "no plumbing issues." I will have a cup with supper and then have another cup with bacon and eggs for breakfast. mmm...

    Just sometimes - maybe once a week - I'm feel a bit like I want/need something high fibre. Chia seeds are always on the soak in our house so it's a bit of that with my favourite ground flaxseed concoction on the top, a few berries or nuts and some cream and it's a great pudding that reminds me of eating cereal!

    Lots of info here. I had been doing a lot of Nutritional Yeast Flakes for fiber but stopped two weeks ago when I added Poly MVA as a supplement. It seems Poly MVA may attach to fiber and exit the back door instead of making it into the blood stream. At $25 an Ounce that is a No No. I am getting positive results from taking Poly MVA and no negative results from cutting my fiber intake it seems.

    Extensive personal research has proven wine to be an excellent method of ensuring things keep moving.

    Don't forget how delicious avocados are. High fat, high fiber, and about the tastiest thing you can put into your face-hole with salt, pepper, and a little apple cider vinegar.
