i used barley grass powder early in my ibs when i did not know better. it is LOADED with insoluble fiber!
i also used powdered (freeze dried) barley grass JUICE which can be found online and is safe for most people.

I reduced the amount of barley powder, used rice milk, and added Heather's Acacia to the mix to balance out the IF and SF.

There is always a way to balance it out, isn't there?  Adding acacia, good tip for others who would say you can't use it.

Barley powder has a high amount of insoluble fiber, up to 30% by dry weight. Many of us, particularly those with D, would have trouble with this product even when mixed it a soluble fiber supplement.
Windchimes, are you IBS-C, IBS-D or IBS-A? It would be helpful if you put it in your signature so others known when you post.

ok, by yor logic, ibsers need not avoid insoluble fiber foods as this site recommends - just mix in plenty of acacia! this makes no sense.
i think you would need large quantities of acacia to balance off the high concentration of insoluble fiber in barley grass.
if you want the high concentration of nutrients in barley grass, just use the barley grass juice.

Syl, I am IBS-D and presently stable. This info is in my bio when you click on my user name. I'm one of those 'computer retards' who doesn't have a clue how to get the info to show at the bottom of each post.
