I had an observation, followed by a question, I was hoping to get help on so I might get back on track. OK so last week when I had Instant Oatmeal, my reaction was to go, then I was c the rest of the day, followed by extreme upper and lower stomach distress. Over the weekend, I tried regular oatmeal, again the same problem happened. In fact, almost two days later, my stomach still feels in distress. 1) Is this a common reaction to insolubale fiber?
I am also noticing that when I go to the bathroom, I feel better initally, then mor ebloated after followed by a feeling of dryness. Again, this has me wondering if my stomach is still recovering from the insoluable fiber over the weekend. I continue to feel like I am not thoroughly emptying myself when I go. Given my reaction to insolubale fiber, but along with the fact 1) I am c, with poor movements 2) have fared well with Oat Bran and Applesauce two times a day, and 1/2 can of Spinach in that I do not get an Oatmeal reaction after, I wanted to know what your advice is so that I can be regular and not be getting spasms.
I was thinking of trying this diet. My estimation is, this would give me 35 grams of fiber, spread out.
