Metamucil fiber caps at bedtime with a lot of water? I do that every night. |

Spinach and cauliflower have about 2 grams fiber per 1/2 cup. Are you drinking enough water? If you take the "bulk forming" laxatives like flax, psyllium and wheat bran, you need to drink those 64 ounces of water and a some more. Otherwise, the fiber will kinda act like cement.

I haven't done flax in quite a while cause it didn't seem to work. I would rather get fiber from food then having to pop another pill. I'm drinking about 120 ounces of water a day.

Avocado, broccoli, cabbage, sprouts and eggplant are all quite high fibre and good for moving things along. For me at least rhubarb is VERY effective!!

I have heard from other people that suggest taking a magnesium supplement at night "keeps things moving". This is if you don't mind another pill, of course! I love spinach, cooked and drizzled with some olive oil, good for the tummy. Always "helps" me, too! I have been using Stevia w/ fiber as a sweetener and it is supposed to be a good source of fiber. |

I always find that a good workout gets things moving.

Pumpkin and/or Jicama works for me. Lots of fiber in both.
