and I'm sorry if I came across that way. When I was asked to be a moderator by Heather, she asked that I do two things: 1. Notify her of inappropriate posts and 2. To redirect people to answers already posted on the website. I was simply doing my job. Furthermore, after helping others for 4 years, I sometimes grow tired of answering the same questions over and over again when the answer is already available. Since no one at the time had responded to your post, I referred you to the most direct answer possible: Heather's.
Furthermore, everyone is asked to thoroughly read through all the guidelines before posting. I will explain the referred area more thoroughly. First, here is the quote from Heather's insoluble list: (quote)-
Once glance will tell you these insoluble fiber foods are the best (and tastiest) around, but your colon simply can't handle it if you eat them with abandon. You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem.
In general, if a plant food (no animal products contain fiber) seems rough, stringy, has a tough skin, hull, peel, pod, or seeds, be careful, as it's likely very high in insoluble fiber. This is not a comprehensive list of insoluble fiber foods by any means but it should give you the general idea. (quote)
Since grapes (at least some) still have seeds, and all have tough skins, they should be eaten carefully, as all insoluble foods should be. You may have better success with peeling them, as that is where the most insoluble part of the grape is.
Again, I apologize, but those who know me fairly well I would hope they know I only try to help here. We're all in this together. After 4 years of helping Heather, I do my best. Perhaps there should be a clarification for everyone posted on "safe foods." I think Heather would refer to these as soluble fibre. The Insolubles are ones that should be eaten with care, therefore be cautious, and the trigger foods are the "unsafe". Perhaps a sticky post of some kind will be helpful. I will ask Heather.
