I have never consumed enough fiber. My first couple of colonoscopy procedures demonstrated that was a bad thing. Since those polyps were removed, I have been putting ground flax seed on everything that can mix it in, even on things like salad. Here is hoping it helps. There is no substitute for eating your fruit and veggies. These days they say more veggies and less fruit, but still...
Can diabetics have those? f
Soluble fiber does not negatively impact blood sugar, because we can’t absorb it.
I’m partial to asbestos.
The downsides of fiber. Digestive issues such as constipation, bloating and others completely cleared up when fiber was removed from the diet completely.
It’s a dichotomy to state that something is both simpler & more complicated, but that’s exactly what this article exemplifies of medical knowledge for gut health.
I’ve spent much time looking at what >90% of people buy to eat by looking at the checkout belt. That includes so-called ‘health’ stores.
‘Scientists/doctors’: They still don’t know jack. Consumers: Worse. Much, much worse.
But hey: There’s big money in gastroenterology and, like meteorology, they can pretty much get away with anything since the effects are weighted with AMA ‘M&M’. /s
I take psyllium husks in capsule form. I wonder if this is similar.
Pretty much the same thing. Yes.
If it works for you then YES. ;)
There was a time I enjoyed the mint flavor (different brand).
Maybe that's where people like Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, Mr. and Mr. Obama, and the entire Biden Crime Family go when they leave this life. ;) One can hope and in a constant loop forever.
That’s why we don’t need much. Resistant starch like potato starch could be eaten in the form of a serving of cooked and cooled potatoes (like potato salad, or even a RE warmed 1/2 potato) , or if you’re avoiding carbs to bring your weight down, just adding 1 tbsp or two of potato starch to a cool drink. It’s odorless and tasteless and is enough to feed all your gut bugs that enjoy it.
Thanks. It makes me happy. ;)
I’ve been reading ground flax seed can also help clear the arteries of plaque if it hasn’t turned to calcium. Ever since I started putting it on meals once a day my bad cholesterol level returned to normal. I can say if it was a combination of things I had changed or this one thing but I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing now.
It’s probably like most things; it’s in the dosage. Even water can be bad if too much is taken in.
