I'm obsessed with fiber pills!!?
Answer:
No fiber pills are good for you so long as you drink 8 ounces of water with EACH tablet you take.
Heres the thing with laxatives, if you take it too much your body will stop your peristalsis which you are relaying on the laxatives. Fiber is natural but I'm sure too much will cause the same problem. Cut down an MAKE SURE YOU DRINK ENOUGH WATER!

You need to ask yourself why you started the fibre tablets in the first place.Was it a medical ailment that prompted you to take them initially (eg Diarrhea), or were you in fact abusing and over-using the pills for another reason (eg to achieve weight loss for example).
Were they consumed safely, at the recommended dose ? I only ask, because I am trying to figure out why you take them so regularly.
By the sounds of it, you are already aware or at least concerned that exceeding the recommended dose is a potential health risk, and can be very dangerous. Why then, haven't you stopped? Ask yourself if you could you in fact do so, if you were advised to by a health care professional? If your answer is no, read on.
If the habit to pop your pills is proving too hard to break,you could POSSIBLY be struggling with a potentially fatal condition affecting millions of people worldwide, particularly rampant in the Western world - SUBSTANCE ABUSE....
This is a REAL ADDICTION, no different to any legally prescribed dependency, which has also been rising in Epidemic proportions...Sadly, this affects the lives of so many people, killing, and consuming the minds, bodies, spirits, and if left untreated, ultimately their lives...This life-destroying illness affects all levels of society, discriminating neither by age, sex, culture or background.
I can't honestly say I know, or have personally experienced what you are going through, but I can tell you right now, I WILL NOT keep silent about what I have witnessed, in an attempt to help and educate people. I have, however witnessed a loved one endure the physical, emotional and life destroying destruction, ALL types of addictions can inflict...
I watched this person deteriorate before my eyes, until finally he like you, reached out for help, and was weaned off this illegal drug, guided by a medical professionals specializing in this particular problem. Seeing someone I love, helplessly destroying himself,was like enduring his pain myself.
The addiction starts as an Emotional crutch. Serving as a seemingly harmless coping mechanism, it conceals a much more complex and deeply-rooted psychological trauma.
Each and every day you are exposed to this substance, you are decreasing your chances for a successful recovery.It becomes progressively harder to break the habit . And, if left untreated, it is a slow, painful, and ultimately deadly descent...
The initial Emotional dependency eventually becomes a Physiological dependency also. In short your body simply cannot function without the substance to satisfy it's cravings.
Please don't be ashamed to ask for professional help - taking little baby steps to get there may help you achieve this. It must be very scary and confusing to wonder why you have no control over an essentially natural substance, such as fibre.
You have summoned up the COURAGE and STRENGTH to take the first, and possibly most important step to overcoming your problem - you have openly acknowledged you have a real problem. BRAVO! Keep your resolve.
Now, STEP 2 is to be true to yourself, and get the help you NEED to become a SURVIVOR of this disease.... and refuse to be victimized any longer.
Most importantly, always remember, it may not feel like it sometimes, but YOU ARE an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND LOVED individual, and deserve nothing less than to be happy and healthy.
Fortunately, there are unlimited resources out there to help you, and other fellow victims. My advise is to actively seek them out, and research a little about it. Hopefully, this will make you realize that you are not alone in your plight,educate you about the condition itself, and reassure you, this is not your fault!
Please, don't take any offence to the speculative nature of my answer. I realize I have made a lot of assumptions, without having any factual evidence to support my opinions, and this may offend you un-necessarily. I apologize if I am completely off the mark, and I am certainly not claiming to be accurate in my take on your problem either. After all I'm just a Mummy, not a Doctor.
I simply wanted to avoid the obvious,offer a fresh and different perspective, and take a chance that my advice will be of some use to you.
It is far more interesting if all the answers are different, and diverse. Everybody answers will inevitably vary, so even if I'm totally wrong, at least it is more interesting than a three letter word answer, starting with Y!. That's what makes ByeDr.com so unique, I guess!
