I put 2 teaspoons of oatbran in the porridge once a day but im not recommending it as im not sure what effect it has on me being in or out of ketosis , so im not saying its ok
it adds 60 calories and 8g carbs to my daily intake , but it keeps me going to the loo almost every day, wheras before I didnt go for 2 weeks
wheat bran is lower in carbs but I couldnt find it in the shops

I tske Benefibre and it is having the desired effect. It seems to be the same stuff as the Cambridge fibre stuff - white, dissolvable - no taste and no thickening. Sugar free, sodium free.
Nutritional info per serving (2 teaspoons twice a day) Cals 8, carbs 0.585g, fibre 3g. 3 for 2 in the larger Tescos at the at the mo so 3 pots (38 servings per pot) is £10. It's in a green tub and among the vits / slimming bars etc
Hope this helps

Toots what do you do with the benefibre , put it in meals , drinks?
You can put it in your packs but I just mix it in with my coffee - it's taste free and non thickening so I don't even notice the difference (except for the obvious after effects

Just a warning WWH, no fibre supplements do anything for me at all and I've tried them all! I have the same problem as you and end up taking Dulcolax Pico Perles twice a week otherwise I just don't go and end up with a problem including the pain. Taking the pico perles helps things along and I don't get problems anymore.

Veg doesn't help me. It's always Pico Perles to the rescue and taken twice a week before there is a hint of a problem as I know how painful it gets otherwise!

I take a fibre powder once or twice a week; came from the Lipotrim maintenance (pharmacy 1 or Pharmacy First step) in my newbie days before I saw the light and found S & S and this site! I must be lucky as I usually find the combo of the shakes/soups/bars and water does the trick!

Yeah, lots of people get by without any problems but I don't unfortunately and having looked at a few threads on Minimins I'm not alone!

Senna is fine but doesn't work for me either. Pico Perles are my lifesaver on this diet. Strangely enough I'm as regular as clockwork usually, it's just on a VLCD that I have problems. Guess there's no gain without pain (or not in my case anyway!).

by the way if you do have to resort to the pico perles , dont plan on leaving the house for the next 12 hours , the effect is not exactly subtle
I think it says works in 8 hours or something but I had to go after about 5 and there really was no option if you know what i mean

I have veggies everyday and it's not helping me- I experienced the same thing WWH, I defo need to use something, using dulco ease at the moment but will make the point to use my psyllium husks more regularly now!
