Chia seeds have a much higher fiber content than flax: You can make some delicious puddings with thrm, add small amounts to oatmeal, yogurts, smoothies, soup. They need to soak a short time to swell up.

Sweet potatoes, avocado, black beans, chick peas, brown rice, barley, wheatberries...all have soluble fiber.

Add beans slowly to meals and try Beano to prevent gas.

Full Plate Living, which focuses on getting soluble fiber, is on social media and has a PhD nutritionist who answers questions.

I've always been told insoluble fiber is the important kind when it comes to pooping. No? I've already started the ground flaxseed so I'm going to stick with that for at least a while - but I apprciate the info about chia seeds. What are the benefits of soluble fiber? I'll definitely check out Full Plate Living - thanks for commenting!
