Fiber with out the gas PLEASE HELP!!!
 
OK i did a search and i found lots of people have gas problems with Psyllium Husks, and i am VERY sensative what would cause normal people a little gas will cause me to swell up like a blimp and cause pain.

so what other ideas are there? I eat my 3 cups of veggies ( mostly broccoli and salad with lettuse that is not iceburge) and i drink at least 2 liters of water a day. usally more.

Ok before this WOE i ate a lot of fruit that help me ... go. now no fruit so no go.

YES!! Eat some fruit! I have added fruit back and it really seems to help. Here's a link to help you with adding the fruit back.. http://atkins.com/Archive/2003/2/10-469820.html

After induction, I added back in some berries and melon while keeping close watch on my carbs. It really wasn't enough fiber though. Many others might disagree, but if the Advantage bars do not cause you any problems or stalls, that is what I use. Just one Chocoate Decadence bar has 11 g of fiber which is 44% of your daily recommendation. That with lots of fresh dark leafy greens does well for me. I, like you, do not do well with the husks and stuff. Also, I split the bar up and have 1/2 for a snack and 1/2 for dessert. Gives me a good chocolate fix and keeps you regular at same time :)
Keep experimenting to find what works for you and your body. Everyone is different. Good luck.
