For the past few blogs I have been extolling the
values of adding fiber to your diet. I
have also told you about the many ways in which fiber can aid everything from
digestion, to weight loss. I have also
shown you how using an FDA-approved fiber supplement like MicrobeFiber™ can make the
process of adding fiber to your diet quick and easy. For today’s blog, I would like to do
something a bit different. Instead of
explaining yet more reasons to jump on the fiber band wagon, I thought I would
allow one of my patients to tell you about her experience.
My name is Tina and I started
taking Microbefiber 6 months ago. About
7-8 years before that, I had a lap band surgery done to help me lose
weight. I lost over 100 pounds, which
thrilled me, until the band slipped and I was forced to take more than 20 pills
per day to deal with the complications and the pain. It was to the point where
I started to regurgitate my food every time I ate. I only found out after the fact that what
happens when your lap band slips is that it can be difficult to pass any food
through to your digestive tract.
