fiber, too much!

[jipped genes]

i just bought some psyllium last week in bulk from a heath food store added orange coolaid powder and stevia to make my own metamucil. well i didnt know how much to take so i did 3 tablespoons at each meal throughout the day yesterday.

i think i overdid it. i have grown up around livestock and seen them poop but they got nothing on me today. my gut is bloated to the max it feels like a ripe melon. and i am blasting farts that can be heard in siberia.

how much of this stuff are you supposed to take just to get your fiber where it should be on a high protein diet?

no idea bro but how much did that run you? i was just about to ask about fiber supps bc i dont think i get enough.

my nutrition book says that you need 25g per day on 2k cals a day... or 11.5g per 1000 calories...

hope that can help yah a bit

I eat a ton of beans. I also have a fiber supplement like yours.

Psyllium is a soluable fiber. My rough estimate would be along 30 to 35 grams a day. But this should also include insoluable as well. I have no idea what the exact ratio should be.

Most people don't get as much as they need, work your way up slowly and eventually the gas and othe rissues won't be prevelant
