This list serve is such a great resource. Thanks to everyone who
responded to my search for a gf source of fiber for use in dieting. \
Here are the responses I received (no guarantee, of course, that this
information is medically accurate.):
-------------------------------------
I use ground flax seed. Hope that helps.
-------------------------------------
I take one called acacia. I ordered it from helpwithibs.com
I take it for ibs, but it works well and I know I have lost weight.
-------------------------------------
Citrucel is gluten free.
-------------------------------------
I like FiberCon. You take two tablets and a full glass of water.
Last time I checked it was GF.
-------------------------------------
We use InstaFIBER made from gluten-free maltodextrin from cornstarch.
It contains 3 grams of fiber in one tsp and completely dissolves in
water. Made by Health Summit, Mission Hills, CA 91346-9606
telephone 1-888-532-8787
I order it from my local food coop, but it may be available from them
directly.

Fibercon is GF
-------------------------------------
I was just at a friend of mine's yesterday who said she had lost weight
eating hemp hearts. I had NEVER heard of them. If you look it up on
the web, there is information about them. It even says it's gluten
free. I proved that true (as I'm quite a sensitive celiac). She offered
me some plain (they are small seed-like sized bits and they taste
nutty). I liked the taste. Then what she did is put a couple of
spoonfuls in plain yogurt and she added some sweetner (she suggested
stevia has good fibre content too - but she was out of that) - it was
like dessert - like pudding. Yummy. She says it's increased her energy
(she has 4 kids) and she's lost some weight already.She said the
increased energy keeps you away from the fridge. Plus from what I read
about them, it's protein so that keeps your blood levels constant more
than a carb and that reduces cravings for sweets and the like. I'm
going to try and get my hands on some and see because I have at least 10
- 20 extra pounds I'd like to lose.

magnewium citrate..start with 1 before bedtime and build to 3

Try Benefiber. My husband is celiac, Type 1 Diabetic (insulin pump),
and was recently diagnosed with Diverticulosis. He too needs fiber in
his diet, but what? The nutritionist suggester Benefiber (a tasteless
powder form) - 2 tbls. twice a day. Hope this helps
-------------------------------------
How coincidental you should ask about GF fiber supplements at this time.
I just attended our local CSA support group meeting yesterday, and the
guest speaker was a Nutritionist (who is also a Celiac). She recommends
BeneFiber. It doesn't get thick, is flavorless, and you can add it to
any beverage. Personally, I increase my fiber with more fruits and
vegetables. Best of luck to you.
-------------------------------------
I take FiberCon and have for many years now with no problems. It's just
2 pills with 8 oz of water, and you can take it whenever.
-------------------------------------
Here is one I use:
FiberSmart caps
Has Fax, Acidophilos, FOS, L-Glutamine

products,binders,fillers, or artificial ingredients.
-------------------------------------
i believe metamucil( psyllium husks) and benefiber(guar gum) are both
gf.
-------------------------------------
Probably the best fiber supplement you can take is flax.
Flax powder (or flax meal) is totally tasteless, so you can
add it to all your foods-- cereal, stews, salad dressings, stuffed
peppers, meatloaf, marinades -- everything! The recommended amount is 3
Tbsp. of flax per day. Flax has 75 times more fiber than any other
plant. 1/4 cup of flax is the equivalent of 60 cups of fresh broccoli!
And flax is all natural and gluten-free.
Good luck!
-------------------------------------
I believe you can buy rice bran - possibly at a health food store..
-------------------------------------
Fiber Con tablets and Citracel are both GF.
-------------------------------------
I forgot to mention that one of the best fiber additives is ground flax
seed. Very nutritious also.
-------------------------------------
Metamucil.
-------------------------------------
Hi - Metamucil capsules (not the powder or biscuits) are gf.
-------------------------------------
try metamucil, it is GF
