		<description><![CDATA[The other day G.S. came to my office for a visit.

I won’t get into his personal medical issue, but the subject of fiber came up.

He said, “Dr. Sears, I’m getting all the fiber I need. Every morning I have my whole wheat toast or a big bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats.”

I’m telling you this because it’s kind of typical. My patients believe they’re getting the right kind of fiber from whole grains.

The truth is all fiber is not created equal. You could call a cardboard box “fiber,” because it’s cellulose and your body wouldn’t digest it.

But it’s not the type of fiber nature intended for you to have in your body...]]></description>

If those extra helpings are still sitting with you the next day, you should read this.

The problem is usually not in your stomach. It’s usually with another part of your gastrointestinal tract called the colon.

It’s does a lot of important work for you. It separates and breaks down water and waste matter. It helps you absorb nutrients and remove harmful substances from the foods you’ve eaten and keeps you “regular.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I changed the picture on my letters to you.

I’m amazed how many of you wrote to me with comments:

“Not trying to be critical but your new appearance makes you look like the caveman on the Geico commercial.”

“Dr. Sears’ Neanderthal look is like those Viking guys on the TV commercials. Cool!”

A lot of folks are asking me, “Why?”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Reader, Are you constipated? It’s very common but often ignored. By the way, the problem is usually not in your stomach. It’s usually with another of your body’s most important organs—the stretch of the gastrointestinal tract called the colon. It’s does a lot of important work for you. It separates and breaks down water [...]]]></description>
