Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Hull-less popcorn? Where do you find that?

It is the hulls (which are the outer part of the kernel) of popcorn that have the most insoluble fiber, so if that's removed it would be a much more tolerable snack. I've never heard of this - what stores carry it? Sounds wonderful, actually.

Like other insoluble fiber foods, tolerance can vary depending on how much you eat, if you have soluble fiber first, how stable you are at that time, etc. Same thing for the soda pop - if you choose a brand without the caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and high fructose corn syrup, the only trigger left would likely be the carbonation. Again, having a small glass on a stomach full of soluble fiber will be much more tolerable than drinking a whole can on an empty stomach. And I've long suspected that real gingerale may be more tolerable than other types of soda because of the ginger itself. I do love good gingerale, and I'll splurge sometimes at a restaurant and drink a little after the meal (I usually take some Equalactin or Fibercon with it to be extra safe).
