Please please buy this and sprinkle about two tablespoons over your cereal - yogurt - every day - unbelievable stuff

Absolutely works wonders.

Not advisable for people with IBS, though.

Only if you can't *** without help.

Doubt I'll buy the stuff Jenny, I'm full of the proverbial and it just flows ;-/

[NoMercy]

You gotta go with the flow, 1ozzy ;-)

Wheat bran has a bad effect on me.

My guts have been vastly better since I switched from wholewheat cereals to a daily bowl of porridge.

[Georgiesmum]

Thanks for the tip but ive never had the need for it myself. i will stick to having either porridge or weetabix in the mornings and fresh fruit, often an apple , banana in the evenings. At the moment im enjoying some lovely black cherries when i sit down in the evenings.

but I don't eat cereal and yoghurt for breakfast and adding wheat bran to my bacon and eggs would be disgusting.

[Jackdaw33]

I was thinking along the same lines, Woofgang.

[jennyjoan]

woof and JD - you can take it in milk or anything liquidy - to just get it down.

I have Diverticulitis NoM - but need this bran time and again.

[Hopkirk]

Have you tried porridge, JennyJ?

[rowanwitch]

Not a good idea, bran works best when it is cooked, and it can cause problems with mineral absorption when eaten raw.

[youngmafbog]

Not a good idea for me, I'm a five a day man without the stuff!

Blimey YMB, you must be losing weight.
