Oats are a cereal grain and bran from cereal grains are known to exacerbate IBS symptoms. Oat bran is about 4-8% soluble fiber and 8-10% insoluble fiber. The IBS research shows that bran is not particularly effective for relieve IBS symptoms and may in fact worsen them. You might consider switching to fruits such as berries and semi-ripe banana.

Never even discussed, how would that help?
Thanks Syl...now what do you suggest. 1) I am following EFI? 2) Is my main problem not enough fiber, and not enough IF? 3) Is it possible for me to get the protein I need (220 grams) and follow EFI? 4) When we say IF, what counts? -Canned Fruits and Veges? Frozen Fruits and Veges? 5) Protein Dense meal...how much fiber do I need to offset? -Hence, can of tuna=how much fiber needed?
