Thanks Jen. I figured there wasn't a "magic" answer but I thought I'd give it a shot anyhow...
I had tried to use Metamucil in the past but I never really used it regularly because it gave me lots of gas (more than usual! ) and I felt bloated with it (again, more than usual!). Heather had said it was probably not a good idea to try to use it if it did that to me before - and I agree. Although I have a ton of Metamucil here the mere thought of having to drink it makes me GAG
I did go to the health food store today and found that all their fiber supplements were psyllium based so I said - no way Jose! I also looked at the digestive enzymes and when I saw the price I ran the other way (I did buy some tofutti cuties and they're pretty good )
I've gotten fennel tea - haven't tried it yet...and I have a good supply of peppermint tea... I've been drinking TONS of water and I'm trying to get my black beans in and my oat bran because that's helped me in the past. I also found quinoa so I thought I'd try that.
I guess this is the "live experiment" of going without your fiber supplement
I'll take it one day at a time and see how it goes - I got lucky today and went to the bathroom Maybe I'll just eat the same thing every day until the acacia gets here
