I remember you've had trouble with lots of herbs and spices, and even herbal teas that usually help folks a lot. I'm so sorry Syl - that is frustrating.
Interesting about the fiber - so many other sources say insoluble fiber ferments a little bit or not at all. Seems like fiber in general is something that science does not have worked out well, as they keep changing definitions, interpretations, etc. They can't even come up with good numbers for how much people should eat, and don't get me started on food labeling for fiber - that's lagging years behind the science/research aspect at this point.
Ah well - at least there is always some basic common sense to fall back on when the research studies either don't match, or don't match up to what actual personal experience with your own body tells you!
Best, H
