Soluable Fiber Supplement

Looking for a recommendation for a fiber supplement that is gluten free, soy free and spinach free. I really am working on increasing my veggies in my diet to resolve this issue naturally, but in the mean time I figure a supplement could help me out until I get better with veggies in my diet.

As you probably know, soluble fiber is found in fruits and veggies-- and commercially produced supplements for those of us who went from living with chronic D to the C. arrgh, right??!!

Citrucel, (not the sugar-free version, though because that has aspartame in it :angry: ) is gluten-free, soy free and dairy free.

Also, plain psyllium works well.

Make sure you drink a LOT of water with these products so they can bind and produce the effect I assume you are looking for ?? :lol:

Hope this helps!

It is my understanding these products do have gluten in them. Mind you it is less than 20ppm which is the standard in the US. I don't know about you but I want zero gluten. I have read there is an apple fiber psyllium that has zero gluten made by NOW.

Really? ..well, of course I want ZERO gluten! :)

I am just confused because there is nothing added to plain psyllium fiber ?? are you saying there is a CC issue?

and the Citrucel is specifically listed in the book by Dr. Matison called Gluten/Casein/Soy Free Shopping Guide. I have read the product ingredients several times and see nothing there that is a gluten product or wheat derivative.

You would think she would SAY these products have <20ppm wouldn't you? Gosh, I've been using that guide for a while.

here's a link that states it is gluten free and allergen free.

I did some reading on the apple pectin and that seems to be the way to go for me. I'll see if I can't find something at the grocery store or pharmacy near by. Otherwise I'll order the NOW brand on amazon. Thanks for the info.

Maybe I'll do some reading on it myself. I'm not wild about all the chemicals in the citrucel anyway. I have only used it in times of despair ;) Thanks for raising the topic in the first place. Hope it resolves your problem.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      @OlafAndvarafors hi! I’m feeling a lot better. Twitching has gotten better…I never really found an explanation for the twitching other than anxiety and/or some sort of deficiency (b12/iron/magnesium/D). These are just guesses, though. My levels were always “low-normal” and I recently got 2 more iron infusions because my ferritin dropped despite the gluten-free diet.    as for the other symptoms, I definitely am inclined to blame the gluten “detox” period and honestly anxiety around the entire ordeal. It’s a huge thing to deal with mentally, and I didn’t have symptoms that I knew of prior to being diagnosed so it really threw me into a spiral.    I supplement daily, multivitamin, 6000 D, B12 sublingual, B complex, C, omega 3, magnesium.    Be patient and kind with yourself. A lot of these forums, while helpful, point you to every possible horrible diagnosis.

      Hello. How are you feeling? Did you find out the cause? I have the same symptoms, but I'm still going through the diagnostic process for celiac disease.

      Confusion about my son's results

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm confused about these results. We are not seeing the GI doc. He's totally out of our price range. We can just do gluten free like we do for my daughter who was off the charts on all of these. Any thoughts? Maybe we caught it early? He's only 5.  His EMA was negative. That got cut out of the photo.
