That is in fact what it was like for me when I started using a lot of garlic powder in my cooking. For some reason I could take it fresh or baked, but not dessicated / powdered. OTOH, being a fan of Blazing Saddles…

Isn’t that the one where a starving child takes her final chance at surviving the night?

Now it’s a HER problem?

(eh… I’ve been in a dreadful mood the past day or two, probably being the AH here, or whatever)

fiber pills as well

Do you mean something like “Bean-o,” or could Metamucil (psyllium husk fibres) work? Just about everyone needs more fibre in their diets, after all.
