Of the total recommended fiber per day, is there a ratio of how much should be SF and how much should be IF? I have searched but not found an answer to this. Thanks.

I don't know if a ratio has every been given. I make sure that my SF intake is substantially higher than my IF intake. Personally, if I were to assign a ratio I would say that my SF is at least 4 to 5 times as much as my IF.

Thanks for quick reply. I'm also looking for the reason we should eat sourdough or french bread. Can you give me that info or the link where I can find that.

I think any bread that contains white flour, salt, yeast and perhaps a small amount of monounsaturated oils such as canola and olive oil would be just fine. You want to stay away from whole grain and whole wheat breads because the IF content is too high.

now that I think about it I suspect I eat about 10 times as much SF as IF.

There isn't a specific ratio, because the general idea is that you should eat as much IF as you can eat without triggering major problems. It's going to differ from person to person.
On average I eat a 50-50 ratio, although if I'm really eating good and healthy, it's more like 75% IF and 25% SF. A lot of IBS'ers can't get away with that, but it works for me.
