Question:

condensation build up by furnace?

We have a 4 yr old high efficiency gas-fired furnace in our atticIt's been giving us trouble EVERY YEAR since the house has been builtThis year is a new issue- we noticed water on our ceiling so went into the attic and found water collecting at the base of the trunk that comes off the furnaceDoes anyone know what the heck is going on or how to fix it? My husband is going crazy! Of course the heating/plumbing guys are booked solid for several days since it's only 15 degrees and we just got a foot and a half of snowThank god we have a propane fireplace for supplemental heating, but we're worried about the damage done to the attic with all the waterHELP!

Answer:

yes, it CAN - if a lack of fiber contributes to irregularity for youIt all just depends really! Fiber is generally a good recommendation for most people! Good luck.
YesThe fiber makes you feel fullAlso, most foods that are high in fiber are already low in calories like fruits and vegetables.
Yes i have Fiber in my diet No
First off, I'm curious about the logistics of putting a heating unit in an atticI can only assume it's well insulated up there and possibly a living space? Second, have you traced the water to an origin? Since I'm assuming it's forced hot air, that eliminates possible leaksSo that brings us to condensationIs there any insulation that's been removed or missing on or around the unit? How about snow or ice melt coming down the chimney? Is there a chimeny cleanout that could be the culprit? When you look at this logically, the only possible source of water would be from the air, in the form of condensation, or roof leakThose are the two paths that have to be followed first.
