Re: Syl... Rome III Criteria for IBS       11/27/09 06:53 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Check Heather's newsletter on Update to the Rome Criteria for Diagnosing IBS - Educate Yourself! Glucose intolerance is unlikely primarily because glucose is the body's primary energy source. Heather states it this way "For glucose concerns, your body eventually breaks down all carbohydrates (simple and complex, and no matter what the source or how much/which type of fiber they contain) into glucose, as this is the only fuel the brain can use." Your physician like may others must not have been aware of the American Gastroenterology Task Force report An Evidence-Based Systematic Review on the Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It says in Section 2.7 on the effectiveness of dietary fiber, bulking agents, and laxatives in the management of irritable bowel syndrome that "Psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid (ispaghula husk) [soluble fiber] is moderately effective and can be given a conditional recommendation (Grade 2C). A single study reported improvement with calcium polycarbophil. Wheat bran or corn bran [insoluble fiber] is no more effective than placebo in the relief of global symptoms of IBS and cannot be recommended for routine use (Grade 2C)." The role of soluble vs insoluble fiber in managing IBS has been known for more than 15 years. I believe that stress is a big trigger for all of us IBSers but there is little to show it is a cause. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
