Default to count fiber grams or not--that's the question

hey guys,
if i were to take 3 fiber tablets which would result in 6.75g of fiber, is that part of my 20g limit or not. If it is, is there a logical reason for that? THANKS

Smile hi bluu

No, as long as the label clearly states that there is no sugar or fructose or sucrose or any fruit sweetener, then you don't need to count them in your carb total. Fiber supplements are not absorbed, and so do not contribute any carbs or calories..

I'm just curious .... Is that 2.5g fiber in one pill, or 2.5g is the total amount from taking several pills through the day?

Only reason I ask, most fibertabs I've seen run around 350 - 500mg each. 2.5 grams would be a huge pill!!

sheesh i can't read the label!.
I missed the part where it says "Amount per Three Tablets" lol..
so in 3 tablets there is 2.25g fiber (no sugar, starch, blabla)

I'm so glad i don't need to count fiber. Thanks Doreen!!!!
