Question:
Should I take fiber...to counter constipation caused by coffee?
I like to drink coffee, the coffee helps me work better. I work 12 hour shifts and the caffeen boost helps me work better. But the coffee also tends to constipate me. Should I take fiber to help me counter the effects of the coffee on my digestive system? I just feel so full and bloated.

Totally agree with Elizabeth. Coffee should make you go to the bathroom. Drink more water. I go on and off coffee so much that I can tell the difference in hydration when I'm off it. I feel really good for about a week and wonder why I ever drink caffeine in the first place, but then I have a cup and ZOOM I can't believe I ever stopped. It's a love/hate relationship.
