Sorry for the use of hypothetical. I should have said: "Take the fiber pill.... and say it has 1.0732 grams of fiber (carbohydrate not digested) I can see that this makes it ever so much clearer.

Jim The average fiber capsule contains 500 milligrams of fiber. A tablespoon of fiber contains 5000 - 7000 milligrams of fiber. On average it takes about 10 capsules to equal a tablespoon of fiber. So one would have to swallow about 30 capsules daily to get the suggested three tablespoons of fiber. Eating more fibrous vegetables changes the equation, but many folks eschew the pleasure of their vegetables. Happy swallowing.
