   I also suffer from intestinal problems. I recommend soluble fiber over insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber gets broken down in the body and insoluble fiber doesn’t, so it may aggravate an inflammed intestine. Here are some sources of soluble fiber:

   Dried beans and peas
   Nuts
   Barley
   Flax seed
   Fruits such as oranges and apples
   Vegetables such as carrots
   Psyllium husk

   Also focus on imporving your emotional state. Are you angry at someone? Do you suffer from anxiety? If so, you need to conquer these problems in order to improve your medical condition.

   All-Bran and Fiber One are really good source of fiber.. so are a lot of vegetables and fruits like broccoli, spinach, apples, oranges, strawberries, other fruits

   I think you’re fine just the way you are. No need to shed any extra lbs :]
