I make a drink to take when i exercise (just pure water doesn't absorb well, and makes me feel bloated), (i eat lots of fiber from legumes and veg so i don't supplement that, but if you don't eat enough, its a good idea.)
Basically like the 'laxative' sold, some magnesium citrate powder, a bit of lemon juice and splenda, and a bit of bicarb. Most people don't get enough magnesium, and its good for depression.
Should be helpful for these issues.
there are different sorts of fiber, and each has different effects. I think a variety of soluble fibres might be important, because it might feed different bacteria, and the diverseity might be better and more robust than just one for various GI health issues (and their effects on general health). Pectin, beta-glucans, etc.
