Re: Dates and Figs       12/14/06 07:16 AM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) Given that you were D and then swung to C it sounds like you weren't getting enough IF. Since dates and figs are Insoluble Fiber they sound like a good solution to that problem. They may be too IF-y for some but if they work for you, that's great. Just keep in mind that according to Heather figs, like rhubard, prunes, and licorice, can act as natural laxatives. (If I remember correctly they naturally contain sorbitol.) So if you do start having problems, I'd reduce the figs first. But unless that happens, dates and figs sound like an easy - and yummy - way to get some serious IF. -------------------- [Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate. - Sandra Boynton] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
