I think that it does cause problems for some...but, in
general, healthy people, eat this as a means of
promoting healthy bowels...low fat and low
cholesterol. It causes problems more for those who
have problems digesting grains. I'm determined to try
to get at least 16 gms. of fiber a day for at least 3
weeks...if it doesn't help regulate my bowels...I will
try a different diet. I have this phobia that if I
don't get even close to the recommended daily
allowance of fiber...(20-25gms) that over time...the
bowels will break down. Yes, I bloat and
constipate...but, I'm still going to stick with it for
a while. Even using metamucil...and lots of water.
If it doesn't work I'll try some other diet. Love,
Marianne
