to take a fiber supplement. I’m trying to eliminate starch and wheat from my diet but I just noticed some of the fiber pills have cornstarch in them. Is this okay?

    I just read an article today out the latest issue of Reader’s Digest, that with the low carb diet you need 1000 mg of calcium. Your bones will develop osteoporosis, with just a low carb diet. They said your bones will be like 2×4’s getting infested with termites. Low fat is OK, it acts as WD40 on your joints. Tuna, almonds, or any kind of fish, has the oil you need. Protein is good. Their comment on low carb was shocking. You need the wheat, too, because it is also a good source of calcium. The fiber pills having cornstarch in them IS okay.

    I’m on a similar diet i take a generic brand of fiber that i mix with water this is great …
    cornstarch in small amounts as such shouldnt be a problem its usually added to be a binding agent

    Yes, most fiber pills do have cornstarch in them but it is a negligible amount.
