Fiber Supplements?

I get plenty of fruits and vegetables, but evidently still lack in the fiber department...before going gluten free I used an all-natural product with Psyllium Husk being the main ingredient...I liked the product immensely (Colonix) and the company reps tell me the product is a gluten free product but just to make certain, I would like to know what the general concensus is out there regarding psyllium husk and or other fiber supplements? I don't want anything with artificial ingredients, etc....thanks!

I have seen several places on the web that talk about Psyllium Husk making the consistency of gluten free breads more closely approximate "real" bread.

I have yet to try it out, but will be as soon as I get back from vacation.

the best natural fiber you'll be able to find is ground flax seed. make sure it is ground, because you get more omega's that way. you can get it at whole foods or your local health care store

With the flax, do you just add it here and there, to smoothies, on salads and such? I don't know why I hadn't thought of that before--I would be staying with a "seed" and away from another grain...atleast I think Psyllium is a grain (?)...

Metamucil is pretty good. The powders and capsules are gluten free, but not the wafers.

I don't think that it's "all natural", though.

I use psyillium husks from Yerba Prima. It's a loose powder you can sprinkle in your food. It is made from the outer coating of seeds of the plantago plant. See the Wiki link for more info. It is in Metamucil also.

I use ground flax seed in all baked goods. I just add a tablespoon or two depending on what I am making, pizza crust, pancakes, biscuits, cakes, bread, etc.....

I also add it to my homemade salad dressings or sprinkle it on salads, I put it in potato salad and cole slaw. You could even add itt o scrambled eggs. I find it has no taste when add to recipes.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
