I do alright using flaxseed meal rather than the psyllium based fibers that you mentioned. I can use just a little in water, like the fiber drinks, or just sprinkle a little on my food. It's an actual food product and it has nutritional benefits, like omega 3. I buy the Bob's Red Mill that is available at Trader Joe's, because it's more affordable. It's already ground flaxseed meal.
I haven't heard of the Heather's Tummy Fibers, so I'll have to look for that.
When my wife was preparing for an operation, her lab work showed her liver counts to be very high, near 200. The Dr. said, many things eaten could raise these levels. They wanted to know if she had eaten cereal with flaxseed and said flaxseed could have a large effect. I mention this so you'll know if it happens to you.
very true every child is different..my daughter was born in 36 weeks and was only 2 kgs..the first 6 months her weight gain was good..ever since i started her with solid foods i am having a battle..she never wants to eat anything..she looks thin and i am extremely unhappy..i want her to put on a few more pounds and i am trying out a whole lot of things..i am giving her whole milk,whole milk yogurt,cheese,pediasure and even avocados occcasionally...but still not much of improvement..
I used flax seed meal for helping me keep my weight up, putting it into smoothies, oatmeal, etc. It makes wonderful cornbread.

After cooking, I stir in 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal, one teaspoon of maple syrup and one teaspoon of peanut butter. Delicious! JoAnne
My allergies are off the chart so healthy meals are hard. No fruit other than citrus, blueberries and blackberries, no tree nuts, no shellfish, no soy . . . It is difficult. Breakfast usually is organic yogurt, I put steel cut oats on the night before so they are somewhat chewy. At times I put blueberries or blackberries in too.
Is the "flaxseed meal" you speak of come already ground up? I have read that flaxseed does no good unless it's ground up.
I live on smoothies..every morning!! Strawberries,bananas,blueberries,ground flaxseed, greens and oatmeal! Keeps me full throughout the morning, it's the only thing I could stand to eat the first 2 months.
Pickles fruit candy veggies and crab legs even tho we can't have any :( oat meal cookies milk so Much more
All I ate was a half lb of strawberries. Oatmeal with peanut butter and flaxseed meal, kale cottage cheese and carrot salad at work.
I urinated once at 7am wakeup. Once 1230pm after my wall and this is.where it gets weird. 415pm 530pm 630pm 8pm and 10pm.
This has been.happening so I cut down on fluid intake and last drink was around 3pm yet I still peed so much after that.
