You can get whole grains without eating whole wheat. Such as:
Oatmeal (which lowers cholesterol), millet, buckwheat/kasha, brown rice, quinoa, and corn.
If you decide you want to add in whole wheat then go for it. (Please do ti slowly). I have a gluten intolerance and I will never eat wheat again. And I am going to be just fine this way!
As for fiber...soluble AND insoluble fiber are BOH important! Almot all foods have fiber...some more than others. Another thing...foods today only mention the amount of INSOLUBLE fiber in food. Why doesn't anyone mention soluble and its importance?
You want fiber? Eat oatmeal, flax seeds/flaxseed oil, potatoes, apples, pears, etc.
I got STABLE and now I am able to eat fruits with the peel. I am also able to eat salads and beans. But brocolli and cauliflower, etc....still make me positively ill no matter what I do!
I get all of my fiber from what I eat...and I never eat whole wheat (I get between 30-50 grams a DAY according to calculations I made weeks back).
And I eat IBS safe for ME.
Heather's diet isn't perfect for everyone as we are all different. But the guidelines are wonderful!
I WISH I could do acacia! i wish I could do a SFS. You are so fortunate you can...
Hth a little....and PLEASE do not freak out *hugs* Docs do NOT know everything!!!
Lotsa love, Ruchie
