Time to get personal, ladies. Let’s talk about fiber. And digestion. And health. And, well, poop. (No topics are ever off limits here at FBG!)

I personally have been pretty vocal about my digestive issues in the past. I’ve always been a bit prone to being stopped up in that department, but now that I’m pregnant, my digestive tract has really slowed down. So when Fiber Choice asked me to take its 30-Day Get Picky Challenge, where you make the switch to one of its fiber supplements for a whole month, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. In my first trimester, I didn’t have the appetite to eat as many fruits and veggies as I normally would and being “regular” seemed like a long-lost island full of kittens and rainbows and unicorns. And seeing that the only thing my pregnant body really wanted to eat was Trader Joe’s hot dogs (I know, I know), I knew that I was in desperate need of fiber.

After all, even the healthiest of eaters have trouble getting the recommended daily fiber intake of 25 to 30 grams each day to maintain health and well-being. According to the American Dietetic Association, it’s estimated that most Americans get only about half that amount. Fiber plays a big role in our overall health, helping to maintain and support our digestive tract by keeping food moving through our system. A situation that I was currently experiencing the opposite of.

But something easy like taking a Fiber Choice supplement a couple times of day to help me get into a daily routine and maintain good digestive health? Now that I could do!

Fiber Choice supplements come in five formulas: Fiber Choice chewable tablets; Fiber Choice Fruity Bites; Fiber Choice Weight Management; Fiber Choice Plus Calcium and Fiber Choice Plus Antioxidants. I went with the Fiber Choice Fruity Bites because, um, gummies!

I love that you can actually chew these! And they chew — and taste — good. In fact, you have to be a little careful because they’re darn right craveable. (But, believe me, you don’t want to eat them like candy … or you might have the opposite of my problem!) Gluten-free, great-tasting and made with natural flavors and colors, I had no trouble convincing myself to eat a couple gummies at each meal for 30 days. Like dessert!

The cherry is my fave flavor!

Just have a look-see at the nutritionals and ingredient list. I LOVE that no artificial colors are used!

All Fiber Choice products, including the Fruity Bites, contain a prebiotic fiber called inulin, which is a 100-percent natural fiber contained in fruits and vegetables. Now here’s a fun fact I didn’t know: Inulin actually helps boost calcium absorption. Yay for that! The prebiotics found in Fiber Choice Fruity Bites also help probiotics (the “good bacteria”) grow and thrive in your belly, which helps support your immune system, keep you at a healthy weight and nurture digestive health.

A few more fun facts straight from the bottle!

So what were the results of my 30-Day Get Picky Challenge? Simply awesomeness! I felt good, my digestion improved drastically (I won’t get into specifics, but let’s just say that I found the long-lost island full of kittens and rainbows and unicorns again!), and honestly, I looked forward to taking my Fiber Choice Fruity Bites after every meal. They’re delicious, and I know they’re good for me and my gut health. Winning all around!

You can get Fiber Choice products at mass food, drug and retail stores throughout the United States and even on Amazon, and I encourage you to do so!
