I always have bowel issues (IBS) and being preggers just makes it worse some times...my mom gave me a reciepe, it is actually a weight watchers receipe, and it is really good. It is for chocolate bran muffins, super easy, and only 1 ww point!! (and for me it satisfies my chocolate craving while giving me the fiber I need.

3 cups of all bran
2.5 cups of warm water
1 box betty crocker low fat brownie mix
1.5 tsp baking power

Preheat oven to 350
Mix water and all bran and let it stand for about two minutes.
Add the brownie mix and baking powder. Mix, Mix, Mix (it will always look a bit grainy because of the all bran, but mix it lots to make sure it is all mixed together. Pour into 24 sprayed muffin tins. Bake 20-25 minutes.

The points are not a concern to me, so I filled the muffin tin, and made 12 muffins instead of 24. (only put the cups half full if you want to make the 24) Make sure if you are just making the 12 to adjust your baking time, because it will take longer for them to cook.

Hope you guys like them, and perhaps they will help some of you that are having issues...I am hoping it helps me. (mom says it helps.)

thanks for the recipe tip

Always good to find something that will work so u don't have those issues for sure. Luckly I haven't had that problem but I have had the chocolate addiction lately lol. which can be dangerous considering I am extremely allergic to high doses of caffiene. Luckly I can have a bit but that is all. No coffee or tea at all either which I don't mind because the only time I it was when I lost my airway as a kid so I don't miss it obviously because of what happened and because I haven't had it in so long. I just have stuff like hot apple cider and that.
