No, I wouldn't and didn't add insolubles until I had more soluble fiber (but that's me). I was a very bad C as well. You are really supposed to add them gradually, like adding the fiber doses. It's all a slow process. Your body will let you know when it is safe to add or take away.

I started adding insolubles after 1 1/2 tablespoon (some people add sooner) but I just wanted to be on the safe side and also, I needed to experiment and find out what my "safe" insolube was and for me that is V8. I started off with drinking it after dinner and after my fiber (always after fiber). Now, I drink a large glass a night.

I also added Luna bars and other safe dairy free snack bars from the health food store.

I would really try slowly adding both. Good luck!
