Product of the week- Fiber Gummies


Last week I complained about some bowel issues that I have been having and decided to take matters into my own hands.  I knew I would not be able to swallow the regular fiber capsules.  (can't even swallow my regular meds without a splitter) and I knew with all my heart I would hate the chewable Tums like ones.  (texture issues)  so I was in search of a gummy one.  My husband found them first and I was excited.  Finally, a miracle great enough to move bowels mountains!  I have been using them I take 2-3 everyday and was very shocked at how they tasted.  It is just like eating a Dot, you know, those little gum drops that you get at halloween.  I have to say I am now pooping a bit more regularly and to be honest don't mind the candy like taste.  They are 15 calories for 2 but I figure I might burn that off in the bathroom trip.  I hope this post wasn't to much for you and that you all have a great day!

  5. Bonnie, what do you use for the multi vitamin. The ones I found at walmart are for kids. I do like this gummy way of taking meds, now if they could only get my metformin into a gummy then I wouldn't be having to spit it into fourths to swallow.
