    I believe the reccomended amount is about 25g. I'm thinking that's based on a 2,000 cal diet. That would be a good starting point.

    Supplementing a portion of your daily intake would be fine. But of course coming from foods is optimal.

    If they are chewable I'd imagine you could swallow them. You could also grab a fiber drink. Or look into Psyllium husks caps.

    Try the Metamucil pills. They work good. 5 a day is the recommendation on the bottle.
