Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) question about peels for Heather       #369032 - 01/13/13 10:33 AM Edit Reply Quote Cyndy Reged: 03/05/05 Posts: 1301 If I suffer from constipation, shouldn't I leave the skin on some veggies such as cooked zucchini or eggplant or potatoes? I'm cofused. I'm eating them with a SF food so what do you suggest? I do have lots of pain, too, though. I don't know what to do.

Peeling and seeding fruits and veggies will remove the toughest insoluble fiber altogether. Chopping, cooking, and pureeing will mechanically break down the insoluble fiber in fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts before you eat it, making it much less likely to provoke problems." How to eat for IBS "Peel, skin, chop and cook fruits and vegetables; mash or puree beans, corn, peas, and berries" -------------------- 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     Re: Heather...please come back!

I still have this question for Heather, though. She told me to eat the peel, but I'm not sure she realized I have pain and constipation, so I am still confused. Did you read her post above that told me to not have to peeL? I really need her advice. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Heather...please come back!

The simplest thing to do is dramatically decrease insoluble fiber consumption for a couple of weeks and then slowly add more insoluble fiber back into your diet to determine how much you can actually handle. As I recall you have more than 3 bowel movements per day.

The colon cannot handle all the stool so its way of coping is to cause diarrhea. However, you can still be constipated even with the diarrhea Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Heather!!!

That amount will vary tremendously from person to person, and even with the same person depending on other factors, stress in their life, etc. If you are finely chopping, pureeing, blending, cooking, etc. the peels, that will really break down the insoluble fiber before you eat it, and make it much less likely to cause pain. But how much, exactly, you can eat is going to take some careful, cautious trial and error on your part. I'm so sorry, IBS is just not a math equation, and there is no way to solve it with hard numbers. Start with small amounts of peels, always with a soluble fiber foundation, and see how you do. Then gradually increase. Best, H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

I have been experimenting and as you said trial and error. I had just posted a longer message again since I now know how to post on the IBS board. You said you have had this since the age of 9 and and obviously you can eat nuts. Were you (then) not able to eat nuts and things with peels and/or insoluble fiber at the time but that gradually changed/healed over time? I am hoping this will happen for me as well...Again, thank you for the advice and encouragement Janet - Health22 Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
