Fibre suggestions to get things moving!!

[pesty]

Ive not been losing as much as i deserve to loose at group as ive been sticking to plan 100%. Im convinced its because i do 'go' as often as i should but i cant find a way to get things moving, I already drink at least 2 litres of water a day! This week im having my 2 HEX B's as high in fibre as poss. Im on red days as usual so has anyone got any suggestions for speeding things up a bit

I have had 2 weetabix for breakfast and am going to buy some ryvita?

Dried apricots work for me! Or you could buy some prune juice and syn it.

Hmm... Not a problem I have but have you tried scan bran??

I heard prune juice was good 142ml is 4 syns. How much do you think i'll need? Haha.

Are dried apricots free?

How about activia yogurts the fat free ones are syn free and they really do keep things moving but you need to eat them regularly

No dried apricots are synned-2 dried are 1.5 or 28g is 2.5, but you can have 71g of the ready to eat ones (which are semi-dried) , or 142g dried and stewed (don't know why it's essential to stew them!) as a HEXb

+1 on the Activia fat free probiotic yoghurts.

I've been having about 2 per day, and there's no problem (and when I was on the plan last time, I DID have a problem ).

Have you tried beetroot. I love beetroot and it has natural laxative properties, which should help you to get moving

Scan bran certainly has enough fibre in it to help things along the way.

 

[Derbynanny]

wow I am shocked the activia yogs have syns as had always been told the fat free ones are free. They are not listed on the website :-( will have to check with my consultant

 

[Derbynanny]

Tehy are posted as free in the list of syn free yogs on minimins

sassie / minn82 - They only sell scan bran in groups dont they? I've avoided buying it to be honest as ive heard they're not very nice, thank you for the suggestion though!

Oscarsmummy - I LOVE beetroot!! Thats a good one i will try and eat more of!!! Its free aswell so i'll add it to my salads ive heard its nice roasted aswell

Derbynanny / Scanbran - I'll try activia too. Ive been eating lots of muller lights as they were 5 for £1 at tesco but the offer changed to 4 for £2 so ive stopped getting them are activia expensive?

Thank you this is all really helpful!! It seems the more veges im eating the more blocked up i am!!

Omg im doing red this week and i had hardly gone and i got wi tomoz :cry:, but tbh i rarely go anyways but have for past 2 weeks just not this week :sigh:

 

[pesty]

Im the same as you - i rarely go! My OH cant understand it I go twice a week maximum - and thats with 2 litres of water!

I had my WI last night and i was exactly the same i knew i felt bloated but also knew i was 110% this week. That's why im trying to pump up the fibre and hopefully have a really good one next week!!

Good luck at WI!!
