Re: question about Bran flour, with IBS-D?       03/04/11 02:35 PM Edit Reply Quote Sonny Reged: 03/20/07 Posts: 7 I was diagnosed with IBS-D. However I failed to see much help from traditional IBS dietary supplements and diet restrictions, plus the circumstances surrounding the beginning of the symptoms lead me to suspect Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth / Imbalance. Since free iron in the gut can promote unwanted growth of certain organisms reducing the amount of free iron available can possibly help along with the right probiotics and diet changes. Bran is one way to bind up the free iron, Decaf Tea is another. But you're right if bacterial overgrowth/imbalance is not the cause then the bran as IF would not be helpful. In small quantities though and never on an empty stomach, it may be tolerable with individuals whose IBS has become more stable. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
