Barley Germ Questions

switched to high fiber diet (flax, shepard’s groats, flush grass). More energy but loose, grainy stools.?

I have switched to high fiber for adult male health but have been having loose, wet stools. How can you make the human plog (or “dump”) stronger, more solid while still eating wheat germ, oats, barley, flax, millet, farm grains and wet mulch? Thx

Fuzz, add prepared oat meal for firmness. At least one helping per day. Also take the best quality of multiple vitamin/minerals you can get. Grains often are short on many and you do not want to lose your health just for fiber flushing.

PS You might look into Chia meal or just use the seed mixed at meal time with the other—–stuff.
