I just read some IBS Constipation info that says strawberries are constipating because of the seeds? Does any one with C find this to be true? 
I thought they'd be a good IF source. 
Here's the direct quote: "Avoid constipating foods and drinks, such as white flour, cheese, fried foods, sweets, salt, beef, pasteurized milk, all junk food, wine, carbonated drinks, and coffee. Certain berries with a large amount of seeds, such as strawberries, huckleberries, raspberries and blackberries, should be avoided, too, as they have a tendency to constipate."
It also suggests this for spastic like colon (when the stools are more ribbon-like). "For spastic constipation it may be necessary to decrease your fiber intake until the situation is corrected. Drink fruit and vegetable juices to get your supply of vital nutrients."
Essentially, wouldn't this mean NOT taking a SFS or reducing fiber, including IF would help C? I am really confused and don't know what to do.
Please, anyone with opinions, I feel like I'm going crazy! And I'm still so constipated and getting more and more depressed and hopeless.
