I can do without, but I don't do nearly as well       04/06/10 10:41 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA You can definitely try to just use soluble fiber foods to manage your symptoms. I did that for years (before even realizing what my safe foods had in common, and before I was even diagnosed). But, I am much more stable with a supplement. In particular, if I take my fiber right before a meal I can tolerate more insoluble fiber foods than without the supplement. There are lots of shades of gray with IBS - even with the same person, different times of life and circumstances can require different things. Focus on your soluble fiber foods first. Try a wide range of 100% soluble fibers with nothing else added to them, in small doses. A little trial and error will probably give you lots of helpful info.
