How can one get enough fiber in their diet when not eating whole grains? I used to do great with fiber content, but now I'm finding I go days without much fiber. Rice just doesn't have as much fiber as the whole wheat breat and breakfast cereals I used to consume every day.

I am considering beginning a regular fiber supplement, but I'm not sure if they are gluten free. I would rather get my fiber requirements from regular food.

Any suggestions?

Whole grains are not the only sources of fiber. Don't forget that fruits and vegetables also contain fiber, especially when eaten raw and/or with their skins on. I try to always have plenty of fresh fruit and a variety of fresh vegetables on hand for snacks.

My daughter's GI suggested Fibersure, which I got at the drugstore. It is made from inulin which is a vegetable source of fiber and gluten free. It is oderless, tasteless, etc. and you can stir into water or any other food you are eating. I put it in baked goods along with a little ground flax seed. You can eat whole grains that are gluten free but they require a little more work. Have you tried quinoa or amaranth?

/angry face at the food industry!
You don't need grains to get fiber. Beans, vegetables, and fruits can *easily* get you *plenty* of fiber. If you want more than 25-30g per day, you'll want to actually choose what you're eating, but other than that, if you're eating a well-rounded diet with 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and grains/legumes/pulses of some variety, you will get a lot.

I was diagnosed w/ IBS as well as celiac, and my doctor told me to follow the IBS diet. It's a lot of the foods that Tiffany listed above (except I'm intolerant to about half of them), plus I do take a fiber supplement. I take acacia fiber (you can do a google search for it). It is specifically for calming those tummy problems that can be associated with IBS (gas, bloating, cramps, etc). I really like it. It doesn't taste bad, and I notice a huge difference when I don't take it. I buy mine at the health food store, but you can also find it on amazon.

i also take acacia fiber (heather's IBS tummy fiber).... i noticed that it really calms down my digestive system. i don't take it every day, but i'll use 2 tsp. to 1T every other day or so. i will begin using it daily or twice a day if i feel glutened, as it does keep my tummy from completely spazzing out! it's really the only fiber supplement that i would really trust to be gluten-free of all that i researched...

i also LOVE quinoa.... when i make batches of rice in my rice cooker, i'll add in a cup or so of quinoa to give it a different flavor and boost the protein and fiber. also, the in combo with the rice it is easier on your stomach!

I believe Heather's tummy fiber says gluten free on the package. I don't know, I don't even look at it anymore

I'd never thought of adding quinoa to rice. That sounds interesting....
