capsules vs. powder       09/19/04 04:21 PM Edit Reply Quote amo616 Reged: 08/16/04 Posts: 236 Loc: Ontario, Canada I read somewhere on this board that it is hard to get enough soluble fiber with capsules. I have started taking 500 mg psyllium husk powder capsules, three before lunch and three before dinner. I can't take them before breakfast as drinking that much water first thing makes me nauseated. Anyway, I know you are supposed to get 12-15 g of soluble fiber per day. I eat a lot of white bread and potatoes -- is that enough, or do I really need to make sure I get 12 g of a soluble fiber supplement per day? Whew, that would be 24 capsules!! If I DO need to take that much of a supplement, then what would be a good soluble fiber powder option for someone who has done well with psyllium husk powder capsules?
