I am in need of a fiber supplement in addition to my food sources.
The reason is , is because I take several medications which constipate
me a lot. I was eating prunes but they pack 25g of carbs per serving
size. What fiber supplement would you recommend , something I could
mix with water and drink everyday etc?

Psyllium, you can get it in regular, sugar free, or capsules.

Flaxseed porridge in the morning works wonders for me.

Psyllium doesn't have sugar in it -- only those fiber products that try to
make it taste good do. I just use the capsules and take them with liquid.

I don't know if psyllium causes gas or not.

What are some name brands which have psyllium in it?

thanks always.

These are the best ones I have found, they are truly tasteless and have
nothing added, just psyllium husks ground quite fine.

The best psyllium husks I have found are these, no additives and no flavor,
just psyllium husks ground finely.

Since becoming pregnant, and having terrible constipation problems, citrucel
has become my new best friend. Its gas free and far less revolting than
metamucil.

psyllium DOES cause gas.

The newer methylcellulose fiber doesn't produce gas http://citrucel.com/

flax seed meal is another answer to constipation.
I get it at Krogers and add 2 T. to my cereal in the morning.
