Diet for AF sufferers?

Hi Mindy, No I have never used enemas to have a bm. I use 500mg capelt of MOM every night before going to bed. I drink abouta gallon of water a day sometimes less. I do not use citrucel, colace, or metamucil. I have high fiber toast with butter and jam in the am. I eat Natures Own Healthline Double Fiber wheat bread. Has 5 grams of fiber per slice. Then I eat something meatless like sweet potato and green peas or lentil soup for lunch or maybe a salad with romaine lettuce. Iceburg lettuce is constipating to me. I have carrots or whatever veggies on the salad that you like. Then at supper I have small amount of chicken or fish, usually flounder, talapia, or grouper, sometimes catfish baked with green beans, peas, high fiber pasta, beans of some sort, tons of veggies. Then at about 9-10pm, I eat a bowl of cereal with skim milk, like Kellogs frosted mini wheats or Raisen bran. Something high fiber, 6 -10 grams of fiber per serving at least. I may have a non chocolate cookie like pepperidge farm sugar or other cookies as a treat. I do not eat anything white like bread, rice, pasta, potatoes. very little dairy except yogurt or skim milk, no cheese of any kind, very little sweets, no chocolate, no caffeine, no shrimp or oysters, both are constipating to me, and no red meat or pork of any kind. I will probably never eat red meat again. I do not eat any fast food. I try to get fresh veggies, b/c they taste so much better than canned. There is a wonderful recipe for lentil soup that someone posted last week on this site. I have made it about 4 times in the past 2 weeks. It is very tastey and healthy. I even use the bacon in it. I hope this helps you some. Good luck.
