i need help with this problem. what am i doing wrong? i would really like to get the health benefits of soluble fiber but it always aggravates my condition. i have read the works of elaine gottschall and she thinks that they can contribute to microorganism growth in the intestines. is this true? does this explain why i get worse? i have used many types of probiotics and homemade goat milk yogurt but that only helps a little. why do i have such horrible reactions to all grains including rice? is it related to my blood type? or is this all false.
everytime i try a soluble fiber i end up dramatically intensifying my symptoms. the symptoms start to rage after about 1 week and by the 4th week they are out of control. if i withdrawal the fiber i settle down within 1 week. i have tried many types over the last 12 to 15 years and nothing helps. it just gets worse and worse.
i think that any type of gel or gooey substance is what causes the reaction. maybe it is true that people who have O-type blood need to stay away from things like pectins and such.
i am also bothered by sugar of any type and chicken is really bad. Wheat and pretty much every grain kills me. i can handle legumes pretty good except for the ones that form a gel or goo. red meats and fats don't cause a problem but IBS has been my diagnosis for 18 years. everything checks out as normal and i think it is just a bad case of some type of food allergies or intolerances. my doctor told me that my immune system is probably messed up but he does not know why.
