I found this article interesting, especially where I have read people on the BB are having luck with cereal. This article says soluable fiber like metamucil and Perdiem are useless in stimulating the bowel. People with C need insoluable fiber as found in cereal. I am going on vacation in two weeks, so its not a good time for me to try something new, but I really think after my vacation I might give this routine a shot. Let me know what you think. www.ruddclinic.com/patientcare-6.html ------------------"Remember To Stop and Smell the Roses"Rose (C-type)[This message has been edited by Rose (edited 09-27-2001).]
