Cucumbers have a small amount of IF (0.6%) and SF (0.2%). The IF is mostly in the skin. If you peel them and the seeds are not mature they should be ok. Mature seeds can contain more IF than immature seeds. I deseed cucumbers before I eat them.

IF - insoluble fiber
SF - soluble fiber

Here is a list of common abbreviations used on the board. And here is a web page that discusses the importance of SF and IF in managing IBS.

I hope this helps
