High fibre foods..........any ideas please..............

[lilacben]

My daughter has a eating disorder and will not eat fruit and veg. she has been on a lot a laxatives a day plus other things, The doctor has sent her to the hospital about it and I went with her. she is an adult 37.
To stop taking the tablets ect, we are trying to get her to eat high fibre foods but everything you think about is food she will not eat. Other than baked beans and brown bread what is there.?

Sorry to hear about your daughter. Jacket potatoes, Weetabix, Shredded wheat, porridge oats, wholemeal pasta, Nuts and seeds

Please check with your doctor about the above first. Hope this helps.

i don't know if it's still around but the 'f' plan diet recipe book would have what you're looking for, lots of high fibre recipes and a list of the fibre content of most foods.

Psyllium husks may be the key.

curious but are the hospital looking into her mental state of physical health?

[lilacben]

joannie, she is on two antidressants a day as it is... has been on them for two years now.

Will she drink smoothies? I am increasing my fibre intake by adding ground oats to my smoothie - I can barely taste them but they are going in!

[lilacben]

busybaby, thankyou but no she will not drink smoothies. only drinks cold drinks blackcurrant,orange and coke.

or benfiber-you can't taste it and will mix with any drinks or soft foods Media URL: http://benefiber.co.uk/

i really did not know what help was on offer - wondered if perhaps some psychiatric help might get to the bottom of her eating issues. Was just a thought - sometimes these things only become available if you have a sympathetic doctor.
