A funny start to the day. Last night I went out with my husband to Bulkbarn to get the suggested Lorann oils (raspberry, orange and Amareto), picked up my unflavoured, non-thickening fibre to put in once daily, and picked up a bag of ice. I packed my

I have read that some take some form of additional while taking their Opti. I looked through both the TWH and Guelph information and couldn't find any direct reference (may have missed it). Is it necessary? Do the fibre capsules work? Any feedback
