hi- i know that when you take fiber supplements you are supposed to drink "a lot" of water... how much is "a lot??" i always drink the recommended amount 8 oz. plus another glass when i take the supplement, plus at least 8 glasses and probably more throughout the day... is this enough?? the warnings seem so drastic... thanks enja

Taking 8 ounces of water after fiber supplements plus an aditional 8 is recommended. I think you are doing well with 8 ounces of water per day. You're doing what is recommended; are you having problems? If not continue the course!

Hi Enja:I think you're doing fine with the amount of water you drink. I wouldn't worry about it.I know too much isn't good, but I don't remember the exact amount. One of my daughter's friends used to drink several gallons a day and the doctor told her to stop that much, that she was losing too many electrolytes.JeanG

Sounds like you are right on track, unless you're really small. If you're average sized it sounds like you're getting plenty.
