Purchased some bran flakes at sainsburys, as they taste awesome. However they contain a fair ammount of sugar, wondered if sugar free ones were sold. So far no luck here, anyone?

The standard supermarket ones i buy have no added sugar.
There will be some natural sugar still though.

Yeah fibres the main reason i bought them, just would prefer to add my own asparatame than their sugar content.

Sugar being the third thing in the list....

Barley malt extract is sugar as well. That and the salt make it eatable otherwise it tastes like cardboard. Why do you want to eat so much bran?

Just want to add my own lower calorie sweetner, their sugar is just empty calories on a cut which i can remove and therefore eat more food. Its no big deal, but if i can pick up a different packet at the shop and save calories then why not 
Also thought it my help my stomach a bit, not sure why my stomachs messed up (Most likly not a bug as it seems to occur when i cut). Could it be to much water, so my intestines aren't squeezing extra out? Thought fibre may help?
Or it may just make me more regular, and worse...?

Have you tried whole linseeds as you get the soluble fibre but not the protein & fats? Or it may just make me more regular, and worse...?

Hi Nigee,
Yeah i tried linseeds but the problem still remains, although it was only ~20grams ground as the satiety/calories/taste arn't ideal on an already low calorie intake.
Will the added fibre in bran or flax hinder my problem, or should it (as i thought) help?
Also could it be im drinking to much liquid(~4Litres a day, plus that from my veggies/salads and 4-5decaf coffees daily) so my body is letting more liquid out rather than absorbing it from the intestines?

I really don't know if your problem is due to excessive liquid consumption. Whole linseeds have very few Calories as they pass through mostly undigested so a 60cc scoop a day is worth a try.

Decided to first remove all veg from my diet AND add bran flakes 100g/day,
i've also stopped drinking coffee(decaf now 100%) and stopped taking omega 3 capsules, cod liver oil and multivitamin.
If my stomach gets better then i know its one the above, so ill add back the vitamins etc slowly and see whats the cause.
IF all that fails to improve my stomach, ill up the fibre more by adding flax as you suggested.
If that fails...ill go to the doctors.

Wheetaflakes are a little better than the others in terms of salt and sugar content. They taste pretty good too.

Yeah i believes it like 97% less than normal, so probably 5mg or something, although i think my problem is due to veggies than anything else
So far, so good - perhaps im on the other end of extreme now though
