Mechanically breaking down IF       02/25/11 05:42 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA such as seeds, skin and pulp is something I have not found to be particularly effective even when accompanied by lots of SF. I can see that mechanical grinding reduces the size of the IF particles which means they will be smaller when they swell up with water therefore putting less mechanical pressure on the colon wall. However, it also increases the surface area of IF available for fermentation by colonic bacteria increasing gas productions. Perhaps this is another one of those things that works for some but not for others. -------------------- 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
