Soluble fibers are important to lower cholesterol naturally, preventing Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms and to prevent and relieve diarrhea and constipation.\n\nSoluble fiber has no calories because it fully passes through the body. Soluble fiber is not found in foods like bran and raw leafy green vegetables. Foods appearing fiberous need not be high in fiber like lettuce. The whole grains, cereal foods, fruits, vegetables and nuts, in general, are good sources of soluble fibers.\n\nGo here, they have a list: http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/soluble-fiber-foods-list.html\n\nand here; http://www.thriftyfoods.com/nutrition/topics_fbrfct.html\n\n As soluble fibre moves through the digestive system it absorbs water and waste materials to help move them out of our bodies. Because of its' ability to do this, soluble fibre has been shown to lower blood cholesterol and can be helpful in controlling blood sugar levels. Bacteria in our digestive tract breaks down soluble fibre, especially that found in dried peas, lentils and beans. The bacterial breakdown of fibre can, in some people, result in abdominal discomfort, bloating, gas and occasional embarrassment. Fortunately, there are things you can do to help - read on!\n\nInsoluble fibre is the type of fibre found in wheat bran, whole grain breads, cereals, vegetables and the edible peels of fruit such as apples and pears. Insoluble fibre cannot absorb water or waste materials as it travels through our digestive tract. It's this type of fibre provides bulk to the stool. As well, insoluble fibre helps to prevent constipation and keeps you regular.

DO NOT EAT BANANAS!!!!\nBananas increase constipation. Eat fruits such as apples and pears, with the skin. Raspberries and flax seed are excellent sources of fiber. Any bran cereal. Raisin Bran is great. Try to drink 8 glasses or more of water a day.\nOh and Triscuit crackers- they are pure whole wheat. All fiber.

Breakfast is a no-brainer: Oatmeal.  I mix a cup of milk (regular or soymilk) with 2/3 cups oats and some cinnamon; and nuke it for 2 or 3 minutes.  I may put a little pancake syrup on top.  Coffee.\n\nLunch is usually soup (often split pea or bean, without corn/tomatoes, etc, and/or a baked SWEET potato (no skin of course).  Metamucil sells these cookies "wafers" that I have in mid-afternoon with my tea; they're pretty good, actually.  \n\nDinner is usually fish and cooked vegetables (I sure do miss salads, sigh!!).  ICE CREAM  for dessert works for me.

You can help by eating soy foods and Flax Seed ground onto your cereal. Tofu is your best food for soy in recipes instead of animal products like meats. Eat lots of fresh fruits and raw vegetables and take a food based vitamin and mineral like Source of Life vitamins along with the herbs, Black Cohosh & Chaste Berry. Health food stores have all kinds of brands to help you choose and Progesterone cream can also help . Also don't smoke or drink alcohol.

Try some Digestive Enzymes. The ones in Beano are only for beans. If you get a good named brand Digestive enzyme it should help the problem. do some research and find out what enzyme you need. Some people have trouble digesting carbs, others meats and fats. A good digestive enzyme supplement will have lots of diff enzymes to help the whole digestive process.\n\n  I use one called Mega zyme and I love it.\n\n Alex

Initially, alternative practitioners will suggest that the patient drink an adequate amount of water each day (six to eight glasses), exercise on a regular basis, and eat a diet high in soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers include pectin, flax, and gums. Insoluble fibers include psyllium and brans from grains like wheat and oats. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain both soluble and insoluble fibers, and since constipation is aggravated by folate, calcium, and magnesium deficiencies, sources of these nutrients, such as asparagus, spinach, parsley, and other dark green leafy vegetables, should be part of the daily diet. Various fruit juices can also help maintain normal bowel function; sorbitol, the natural sugar found in apple juice has known laxative properties. Castor oil, applied topically to the abdomen and covered by a heat source (a heating pad or hot water bottle), can help relieve constipation when used nightly for 20-30 minutes.

oatmeal is good for helping to get rid of the bad cholesterol ( I believe its the LDL), and eating foods like fish will help raise your good cholesterol (I think it's HDL), which will lower your total overall cholesterol.

My Acupuncturist/Dr of Oriental Medicine had me start taking some digestive enzymes to cure some gas and bloating. I have been taking Rainbow Light Advanced Enzyme System (Plant Based) before each meal and it has helped a lot.\n\nhttp://www.vitacost.com/RainbowLightPlantSourceAdvancedEnzymeSystem\n\nI would also steer clear of "sugar free" items that use sugar alcohols as a replacement as those can cause LOTS of gas.

Do you mean breakfast? \n\nFruit is always a good choice. It will provide energy and nurishment. If you like bananas, go for those! Perhaps some fruit juice like orange juice or grapefruit juice.\n\nAs for lunch- since you are a vegetarian, I would suggest something simple and nonpershiable- like peanut butter and jelly. Bring some carrot sticks and an apple with you. (a juice box, too)\n\nGood luck on your exam. \n\nPS the carrots are "brain food"

When you eat a high fiber diet like Kellogg's Extra Fiber, you will feel less likely to be hungry. Consequently eating at least one cup of the Kellogg's extra fiber, wit say sliced strawberries, blueberries or bananas, will certainly help you not eat as much for lunch, which eating fresh fruit would also help.If you did this for 2 weeks and utilized walking 3-4 days/week, you could possibly lose a size  in your jeans in 2 weeks.
