Re: Is it possible to get too much fiber?       06/04/03 12:34 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hang in there...I'm talking all about the fiber supplements in the IBS newsletter that goes out tomorrow (you'll get an email copy). You're definitely not taking too much fiber right now - you can easily go to two Fibercon tablets four times daily. You might want to add in a powder like Benefiber or just switch altogether. Some folks find powders more effective than pills. You can go up to 2T twice daily for powders. Make sure you are drinking a LOT of water with the fiber and all day long. That's the number one reason the supplements don't work as well as they should. They need water to work properly.
