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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
