Re: Fiber for D - look at this!       03/24/04 08:59 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Well, I don't think they quite know what they're talking about. Check the research library, diet section, for the studies on soluble vs. insoluble fiber for IBS. The clinical studies on this are really clear - soluble fiber helps both diarrhea and constipation, insoluble fiber can exacerbate both IBS c and d. Why so many IBS books, site, docs, etc. still just recommend "fiber" for IBS is a mystery to me. It makes me wonder if they ever bother even asking IBS patients how they actually do with soluble vs. insoluble fiber. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
