Firstly, as I have no medical degree, I would not suggest or recommend anything except based on my own personal experience.
I have IBS-D, in case you are wondering.
Kelp, algae, kombu, spirulina...these are the foods I eat. I have problems, though, I notice with guar gum and carageenan. I've never eaten raw Irish moss/carrageenan, though. Anything containing it puts my stomach "through the rinse cycle" and I always get nausea/headache/and sort of buzzed in the head from it. It literally feels like it's gumming up or sticking to my stomach lining.
Re: seaweeds and algaes that I eat most days. I just like the taste of them, plus they are of nutritional value/merit to me personally as well. I eat them in their natural, post harvest form. They don't give me a headache. And yes, I get a good "clean-out" clean-up from them. I think dulse has about 2 g of fiber per tbsp. Just so you know, I'm on a very HIGH SODIUM diet, too.
Have you ever had sushi, Cyndy? If you're okay with sushi, than kombu should sit okay with you. I guess that's the best guide I can offer you re: seaweed consumption in general, other than just test it and see how you respond and also run a search re: how others respond to seaweed.
