Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Lettuce has almost no fiber.....I use finely shredded cabbage for my salads.....it's pretty good, too. Are your salads mostly lettuce?Yes....I thought it had fiber I use two kinds...well just looked up raw cabbage and it has .8 in half a cup...still not much....did you know we are supposed to have something like 22 grams a day!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Joya: I like the crunchiness (is that a word?) of Bran o Crisp crackers in soups. They have 11 g of carbohydrates, all fiber, per cracker. They have a taste (cardboard) that takes getting used to. On the 19th I am getting a colonoscopy, and the laxative for that (fleet Phospho sodio something ) really works. It is really effective, and nothing that a person would voluntarily repeat, LOL.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 I have to get a colonoscopy this year...am psyching myself up for it...it is the one thing I swore I would never do, but of course, the time has come... Dear Joya: My mom had one a year or so ago, she was VERY anxious about it too. Her mom died of colon cancer so it was a definate MUST do. She told me they drugged her up so well that the experience was not even close to being as scary or painful as THINKING about it. You can do it Joya....You have too!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 All fiber??? Which basically means no carbs once you subract...so do you just need one a day?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Oh ... do I ever know what you mean about not voluntarily repeating the " pre " test laxative. It was the worst tasting stuff I have ever tasted. The secret, or it helped me, is to have it over ice or very chilled. The first two swallows was okay. After that, gag city. Good luck with your colonoscopy. I had mine last January. The first part was a flexsigmoidoscopy in the doctors office and then I went to the hospital for the colon xray. It was cinch and not painful. Susie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Actually, I think these crackers have 6 carbs each. I think they are made in Europe and they subtract the fiber in their count. Beth > All fiber???

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 But I don't take them for fiber, anyway not just for fiber.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Whuupps!! You're right, the packages says 6 g of carb 2 of which is insoluble fiber. Gosh darn it. They are 4 g of useable carb per slice. 65% of the cracker is the hull of wheat. (bran) Re: Today's food > Actually, I think these crackers have 6 carbs each.
