What Fiber do you guys take? And when?

I usually just go w/ the basic psyllium powder - its cheap and it will clean you out. I do it once in the morning, and mix in all my other stuff - I use powder greens (e.g. Greens +) and Emergen-C powder vit C & MSM, and lately, some ALRi Chain'd Out BCAAs. And then at night before bed.

I have also used flax meal ( comes in a bag, usually in the baking section of the grocery store or in a health food place like Whole Foods) mixed in w/ my protein mix or oatmeal for additional, and a good fat source (flax seed).

I use flax meal, as well off season. I like the golden flax - Bob's Redmill - because I can bake with it in place of flour, and it's all fiber.

I bought Fiberlyze last year and that cleaned me right out the first few times I used it. Without getting too graphic, it pretty much equated to a colon cleanse. lol I still take it now and it keeps me regular on a low carb diet. However, I also use sugar free metamucil and that works, too.

Tons of psyllium husk.
I tried Fiberlyze. Tastes great. Works more like a laxative. Made me a bit nervous.

The standard pysillium caps work pretty well ... the colon cleanse powder is a bit more aggressive so plan accordingly if you use that stuff.

Thank you. Guess the colon cleanse is something to try on a Friday after work when planning on being home for the weekend.

Back home in PA I used sugar free metamucil. Here in Australia I use basic psyllium husk.

I use powdered Greens + in my Casiene shake in the AM

I buy Psyllium husk from the stock feed shop and put 2 heaped teaspoons in my morning shake and have 2 tsp in water with gabba in the evening.

Greens mixed w metamucil every morning right when I wake up.

At night with a scoop of whey protein in a shake. Occasionally, I'll take it in the morning, too. Fuit Punch goodness!

I've also used Metamucil and Benefiber, but definitely favor the Fiberlyze.

i use the psyllium and the super greens from trueprotein. i go with about a tbsp of fiber and about a 1/2 of the super greens in a shake. sometimes i put a little more fiber in the shake if i know it has to hold me over for a longer period of time.

yeah i love ya dave but SallyAnne understated (lady like) what fiberlyze will do to you.A bathroom w/in 50 feet that has plenty of stalls ,no waiting,is going to be neccesary w/ this stuff.might as well get a laxative and take 4!!!!!!!!!!!

Are the fish oils the only supplement not to take around the same time as the fiber, (I've been told to wait an hour or so...), or are other supp's affected as well? What about prescription meds?...just curious.

BTW...I'm loving the Fiberlyze (esp. mixed with crystal light) and in order to stretch it out and save some $, I mix it with pysllium husk powder.

I think so. I read once that Dave said any supps are ok with fiber except the fish oils. I'm going to assume evening primrose oil as well.
