I remember you've had trouble with lots of herbs and spices, and even herbal teas that usually help folks a lot.  I'm so sorry Syl - that is frustrating.
Interesting about the fiber - so many other sources say insoluble fiber ferments a little bit or not at all. Seems like fiber in general is something that science does not have worked out well, as they keep changing definitions, interpretations, etc. They can't even come up with good numbers for how much people should eat, and don't get me started on food labeling for fiber - that's lagging years behind the science/research aspect at this point.
Ah well - at least there is always some basic common sense to fall back on when the research studies either don't match, or don't match up to what actual personal experience with your own body tells you!
Best,

where you tie a bundle of whole herbs/spices in a little cheesecloth bundle and use it to season liquids (sauces, soups, etc.)
That would let you use a whole cinnamon stick, or cloves, nutmeg, or the traditional bouquet of herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc.) for the savory recipes.
You'd at least get great flavor -

I've only used one a few times (who has cheesecloth just hanging around the kitchen?! I had to get some from my grandmother) but I felt very Julia Child with my little wrapped bundle. It actually worked pretty well though.
