There is more than one product out there to use. I added Metamucil, (I mix it with water) I did not see any gluten sources listed in the ingredients. If the fibersure has no wheat sources try it in your recipes.

My other sources of fiber,,fresh pineapple, and I add a few precooked beans to my homemade soups or have a side of baked beans with my meal.

Personally, I like shredded coconut. Though I started using that as a source of lauric acid, it is indeed a source of fiber (I don't know how the percentage compares to other sources). Thus far it has added a wonderful taste to every meal I've put it in (every meal of every day :)). Of course, I really like coconut quite a bit. For those who don't, I suppose there are plenty of nuts and seeds which can provide the desired fiber content. Lots of fruits and veggies offer an abundance of fiber though, and popcorn has loads of fiber from what I can tell from the nutrition labels. Whole grains are good sources too. With all the veggies and grains I eat, I've never seen the need to increase my fiber intake, so I haven't searched out the foods which are particularly high in fiber. Sometimes I wonder if I get too much.

Ground flaxseeds are good for you and are supposed to be the healthiest fiber. I try them, but I am not sure how much they agree with me. SOmetimes they just make me more bloated. I have used Citrucel and it is a gentle fiber and bulking fiber. It works well, but gets old. I haven't tried the one's you mentioned, sorry.

WE had flaxseeds to anythign we can and I also add fibersure to pasta sauces, eggs, even juices when I need an extra boost... it is 100% gluten free no wheat at all :)

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
