Re: How do you know       01/19/05 08:22 PM Edit Reply Quote AmandaPanda, J.D. Reged: 04/26/04 Posts: 1490 Loc: New York, New York In figuring out how much insoluable fiber to have in a day, I would suggest probably trial and error. I'd wait until Saturday, when you don't have to be anywhere, and try to make all your meals and snacks include significantly more insoluable than you are used to. I am ibs-A pretty much, so I'm kind of prone to D if I get too much insoluable, but prone to C if I don't get enough. Try to do this without panicking. Remember that you've felt like crap before and that it hasn't killed you yet, you can survive. Do it on a day when you have no appointments, so no anxiety about being inconvenienced by feeling bad. I'd suggest something like adding a generous handful of raisins to your breakfast cereal, hot or cold. And maybe several pickle chips alongside your sandwich at lunch. For a snack I'd have something that feels like a treat, whether it's soluable or insoluable, as kind of a reward for trying new things all day. Then at dinner I'd have some steamed spinach or asparagus along with my main dish and some soluable like rice or pasta. If it doesn't make you feel any worse, do it again the next day! That's basically how I deal with it. Lately I've been more prone to C than to D, and I can agree with you that while D is no picknick, C is kind of harder to really fix. It's just going to take some patience. Also, for no reason that I can figure out, a bowl of cream of rice in the morning makes me go immediately. This doesn't happen when I have cold cereal or a bagel. I don't know if it's because the warm cream of rice relaxes my muscles, or what, but it helps me, so I'm passing it on. Same thing with hot tea of any kind. As for the canned fruits, I think that without the skin they are almost entirely soluable. You might consider making homemade applesauce (recipe in Heather's book is just chopped apples and water), but leave some of the skin on. Ok I'm out of idea. I hope I helped. You sure do sound like you are having a rough time. Panda -------------------- Amanda I live in the Big Apple, but I don't eat the skin Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
