EVERY time I try oatmeal, it fails badly.
You know, it's just really frustrating. So we have this quota of fiber to get, ok, fair enough. But then you go ahead and make it IMPOSSIBLE and as inconvenient as possible to meet the requirement.
Example...most people to get fiber have Oatmeal at breakfast, whole grain breads at lunch, pack an apple to eat with them, have a salad at dinner, and maybe some V8.
So how I am supposed to get my quota of fiber? SFS can give 12 grams...max. You took out salads (can't handle)....take out raw fruits and veggies...so how am I supposed to get it?
Do I need to slave over the stove cooking FRUITS? It is one thing to spend an hour 1-2 times a week cooking dinner, quite another to be stationed at the stove and microwave 3-4 times a day preparing FRUIT AND VEGGIE SNACKS/SIDES.
I am sorry, but that is completely impractical and inconvenient. You know this circluar logic of IBS really gets to me. You people say "eat fiber" I say ok then you add restrictions making such impossible. Then you say stop obsessing on food or IBS...that I need to relax...well how I am supposed to relax if I have to spend all day worrying about fiber...trying to devise ways to get fiber...and having to cook fruits/veggies 4 times a day?
So...if I need 35 grams of fiber per day....please tell me how I can get it without having it become an obsession that interferes with work and relaxing...because I swear having to cook fruits and veggies 3/4 times a day IS just that.
