Re: Some questions for TOTALLY stable IBS'ers       10/18/07 01:35 PM Edit Reply Quote AndrewIBSC Reged: 03/23/07 Posts: 159 Loc: PHiladelphia, PA Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. Under the FAQ section Heather says "The number one rule here is: Never eat insoluble fiber alone or on an empty stomach. Always eat it with a larger quantity of soluble fiber, and you will help keep your IBS stable." So according to Heather a 1:1 ratio is not even acceptable. Am I correct. I get confused because I know these are guidelines but the word NEVER is a pretty black and white term for her to use. Another question....if I cook down insoluble fiber does that mean it is not as effective in helping move things along? I read in her book that cooking insoluble veggies "makes there fiber content dramatically less." So is it not going to have the effect I need it to have on my system to get things moving? One last thing....I have been eating grains for IF because they are generally easier to prepare with my workday schedule as a teacher. Below is a list of a typical day of eating. Would you please take a look at it and let me know what you think? I really would appreciate it.
