Thank you! I like my salads with lemon juice and olive oil as dressing.
Beano first, of course. No croutons, but a couple round Nabisco crackers.
“Psyllium husk (Metamucil and Konsyl) is rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber. Generally, fiber supplements with mainly insoluble fiber may be a better option for constipation.”
Hey no problem, appreciate these threads. I’ve been trying to do everything anti-inflammatory since my Giant Cell Arteritis diagnosis. Fiber was one thing among many that’s supposed to help and I started Metamucil. Just now I also found this..
“ Chia seeds are a type of seed that’s high in fiber and resistant starch.”
Wife’s been buying me chia seeds to add to yogurt and oatmeal for me, so hopefully those 2 tablespoons a day of seeds and Metamucil are helping me somewhat. We’ll see at next blood screening if CRP and ESR tests are close to normal and not inflated. Your C-Reactive Protein is supposed to be lees than 5, mine at diagnosis was 153, my ESR was supposed to be under 10 and I was at 96. So if you ever have a long term headache get those blood tests done, it kept me from going blind.
Flaxseed is resistant starch as well.
OMG: Yet another example of not seeing the forest through the trees and wasted research dollars.
If we cannot return to pure science on even the little things, we’re screwed.
