    Plant matter :)

    Vegetables, fruits and wholegrains.

    Porridge made with water and served with honey/fruit etc etc.

    Any particular reason why you don't drink milk?

    Would you not snack on All Bran dry?

    Vegetables. Broccoli, kale, brussel spourts, spinach, celery, fennel, all that stuff had loads of fibre. Also nuts and coconut.

    You can buy psyllum husk (sp?) in health food shops and add it to soups etc.
