Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | also: different kinds of IF

For me IF in grains is different from IF in veggies. Wholegrain bread (say with 5g of IF) even with enough SF (at least 5g) causes me D, whereas veggies/fruits (with same amount of 5g IF plus at least 5g SF) don't.

I once accidentally had a cereal with oatbran in it but with enough SF, again, had D.

Rolled oats are completely fine for me though, without SFS, but have to be cooked/microwaved and should not be boiling hot. (RS forms on top which acts as SF when you let oatmeal cool)

(IF insoluble fibre
SF soluble fibre
RS resistant starch
SFS soluble fibre supplement )

now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols)

before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010

[I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)]
