Typical of health care people to look at a symptom and try to fix the symptom and ignore the real problem causing it. More fiber? That will just cause you more problems, until you fix the real underlying problem.

Hard stools says you are not digesting at the stomach level, first, then your friendly flora is probably in bad shape. Then your fat digestion due to bad bile is possibly another issue. Bad bile comes from liver not functioning properly.

I suggest you do the following basic things and without delving more deeply into how you got this way with your diet, that should also change to keep you from continuing to have these problems.

Go to: http://www.healthline.cc (not .com) and order the following products:

Betaine HCL — Take 3 capsules if you are under 150 pounds and 4 if you are over 150 AFTER EACH MEAL.

Activator — Take 2 of these AFTER EACH MEAL.

Quantum Digest — Take 2 of these DURING THE MEAL.

Probiotics — Take 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening.

Cleanse Blend — Take 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening.
Do this for 3 months.

Take your total weight and divide by 2. That number is the amount of water you need to drink each day. If you drink sodas, coffee, or tea, add 1-1/2 times the amount of these drinks you drink in water to the total. Those drinks dehydrate you.

That will take care of the immediate problem.

Now you need to address your diet to fix the real issue permanently. e-mail me for specifics.

good luck
