Fiber only gives me gas?

Question

I have a hard time pooping on my own because I don't get enough fiber in my diet. It takes about 4 days on my own. I tried eating fiber-filled foods but they don't help. I still take days to go (maybe 2-4). And, to be honest, I don't want to waste my daily caloric allotment on fiber cereal when I feel like eggs and bacon for breakfast. So I've decided to try Fibersure. It's basically a powder you add to water and it gives you your daily amount of fiber needed. I'm getting my daily recommended dose of fiber but all I've gotten is terrible gas (yes this is embarrassing). I'm still taking days to p**p but all I'm doing is farting in between. I'm having more trouble now than I was before. And I can't do Laxatives because your body becomes dependent and, after a while, I wouldn't be able to go at ALL on my own. So what do I do?

Answer 1

You poor thing. Heat a quart of the warmest water you can stand to drink and then add 2 tsp of brown sea salt . This mixture will clean you out in about an hour.

More than likely mixing powder fiber with a clogged colon will only increase your gas problem. You need to take a product like cascara sagrada to get your colon regular. Fiber powders and pills often have artifical sweetners that people with slow colons will not help them. Prune juice mixed with V8 fusion will help you regulate your colon as well.
