"Soluble or insoluble fibre in irritable bowel syndrome in primary care? Randomised placebo controlled trial." BMJ 339. Soluble or insoluble fibre in irritable bowel syndrome in primary care? Randomised placebo controlled trial "After three months of treatment, symptom severity in the psyllium group was reduced by 90 points, compared with 49 points in the placebo group (P=0.03) and 58 points in the bran group (P=0.61 versus placebo). No differences were found with respect to quality of life. Fifty four (64%) of the patients allocated to psyllium, 54 (56%) in the bran group, and 56 (60%) in the placebo group completed the three month treatment period. Early dropout was most common in the bran group; the main reason was that the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome worsened." "Psyllium [mostly soluble fiber] offers benefits in patients with irritable bowel syndrome in primary care." -------------------- 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: Oatmeal       #370953 - 03/03/14 05:50 AM Edit Reply Quote mradams1 Reged: 07/12/10 Posts: 206 Hi, thanks for the research papers. I wasn't disputing that soluble fibre helps IBS symptoms and that insoluble fibre (particularly bran) exacerbates symptoms. I was simply passing on information, published by the NHS, that recommends avoiding all high fibre foods regardless of their fibre composition. -------------------- IBS A.

How about oatmeal cookes? -------------------- Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs.

Had more acupuncture with different practitioner in summer 2014, but received little benefit.

I eat it most days. Oatmeal cookies, however, are not safe as the oats aren't cooked in water to form resistant starches which acts as soluble fiber. It is unlikely that uncooked oatmeal that is baked in cookies will do the same thing and therefore the ratio of insoluble to soluble fiber will be higher in cookies. -------------------- IBS A.

I thought it was as porridge. Porridge I can handle. Oatmeal cookies are guaranteed to give me a problem -------------------- 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: Oatmeal       #371258 - 06/28/14 11:13 PM Edit Reply Quote jwoolman Reged: 04/08/14 Posts: 6 Would half a bowl of oatmeal be tolerated? Oatmeal actually freezes well in portions, if you can't easily just mix up less (just microwave briefly to warm up). Sometimes smaller portions work better for anything. The rest can be eaten later in the day or another day. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | >> (show all)
