Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: did you peel the skin off with your fingers?

Yes - it is very easy to peel the skins with your fingers! Oh - and even without the skins red peppers still contain some insoluble fiber. In fact,all veggies and fruits that are peeled contain insoluble fiber. Peeling just removes a significant amount of insoluble fiber but not all of it.

You are making assumptions that you need more insoluble fiber than I do. Have you looked at Heather's Break the Cycle diet which is used to break the cycle of pain. If no, then have a look at it. It contains almost no insoluble fiber. It might be the first step to reducing your pain.

Perhaps you should re-read Heather's information about insoluble fiber foods over again closely. Once you have broken the pain cycle with very very low insoluble fiber foods, etc you can then SLOWLY start introducing foods with more insoluble fiber.
