Gee whiz Monty girl, so far nobody has even been able to talk me into getting that probing pocedure done on myself.... Good Job!!!! Re: fiber. I have recently discovered Coconut Fiber (you can google for more info). Oh my is it yummy in my tummy and on further south.... I put a heaping TBS into my morning jar of juice, shake it up, and drink it down. Then do it all again in the evening. My body seems to love it which is great 'cause I love coconut. It's also helping me flush cholesterol -- yippee ki YAY on that one. Good Luck !!
