Hi, 

I eat it with a little almond milk. 

Perfect Thank you 😀

Would you mind sharing how Fiber One helped you?  Did it help you right away or did it take several days for the effects to appear?

Hi,

The fiber one cereal acts like a binding agent, slowed me down. It worked immediately. First time I ate too much, 1/2 bowl, I was stopped up for over 24hrs lol, then I paid attention to what doc told me, 1/3 cup,  works much better 

I have chronic diarrhea, not much works anymore, so finding something that works this well is a miracle for me. I just pray it continues to work. 

Would other bran-cereals have the same effect as Fiber One? Fiber One is not available in my country, but similar products like All-Bran from Kellogg's is. 

Does Fiber One taste like Kellogg’s All-Bran? What’s it taste like?

Also when do you eat the 1/3 bowl? Does “when” make a difference? Thanks

Hi,

I can only vouch for the Fiber-one since that’s what the doc told me to try.

Hi,

I take 1/3 of a cup in the morning when I wake up. That’s my preferred time. Every one is different, so I guess you can take it whenever. 

I used to eat Fiber One all the time.  Since surgery, I’ve been eating more cooked cereal, but I just might add some to my breakfast again.  

YTCrockpot, thanks for posting this. When I saw your post, I bought Kellogg's All Bran Flakes (because I don't like the Buds) and I eat 1/2 cup of cereal with blueberries and almond milk. I like the taste, and it seems to be working. While it hasn't lessened my number of BMs, yet, it has made them more solid. For anyone looking to limit carbs, the label says 1 cup serving has 28 grams of carbs and 5 grams of fiber, for a net 23 grams of complex carbs (whole grain wheat, wheat bran).  So not bad. Five grams of fiber in a serving of anything is a good start.

I also bought Fibre 1 cereal to try, the Honey Oat Clusters flavour. For this cereal, 1 cup serving has 45 grams of carbs, but a whopping 13 grams of fibre, for a net of 32 grams of carbs. The honey clusters give it a bit more flavour, but both cereals taste good. Not like kids' cereals overloaded with sugar, colouring and chocolate, but for an adult cereal they taste good with blueberries or sliced banana. Thanks, YTCrockpot!

Thanks YTCrockpot, I think I will try the 1/3 cup Fiber One cereal. I also have a problem with constipation. Glad it's working well for you.

Oatmeal is great as well! Oatmeal has definitely helped with everything.

Anyone else try this? I’m curious why this would work better than psyllium.

I think that while there's no silver bullet, all the fiber options work to some degree or other.

I've been starting the day with oatmeal to which I add chia seed pudding: basically chia seeds that have soaked up unsweetened almond milk and a splash of pure maple syrup overnight. The Chia adds about 10g fiber to oatmeal's 3. I sometimes add some banana. It's loaded with calcium among other nutritional benefits.  I do one dose of Konsil during the day. Have Metamucil wafers for when I'm not somewhere I can easily mix the powder and that works, too  

I also add the chia pudding to yogurt.  I've found a small amount of probiotic yogurt/ chia  in the evening seems to help with the overnights.  

Have been thinking about adding a high fiber dry cereal. Will try the Fiber One.

But to prove how little rhyme or reason there seems to be to the diet, I made fresh salsa with grape tomatoes from the farmers market, fresh lemon and a bit of onion and ate entirely too much with some really excellent tortilla chips (Mi Niña brand) late in the afternoon.   I was prepared for an awful night.  Then slept through for 7 hrs with no repercussions.

I'm crediting the yogurt and chia seeds.
