They help to give a greater fullness when taken before meals and of course affect digestion (slow it up a bit). Generally speaking, we do not get anywhere near enough fiber in our daily diet. Supplementing is beneficial. If you are experiencing bloating, that could also be due to the addition of fiber too quickly. If you're following the meal plan as it is designed, then you've probably increased the fiber content of your diet significantly already. Taking supplements will not hurt matters any, but you may want to track your meals for a few days and see how much fiber you're taking in already as well. Quote
