That's a bummer about the fiber. Have you tried flax seed?
I gave up on all the diets. I briefly gave Fod-map a try, but there's no way to tell if things are working. I mean if something makes you clutch your stomach and run to the bathroom, that's a pretty good sign you shouldn't eat it. But we on the C side don't get that. The only way to tell if something is blocking us is for us to get stable in the first place and then have a flare up. Well none of those diets ever got me stable, even in the elimination phase.
Now that I go regularly, I can start to figure out my problem foods. I still eat them, because it's hard to find that line when it's going to cross into too much. Sometimes it does (this is where I think Fod-map has it right). Then I get blocked. But instead of two weeks of problems, it's two days. At this point, I'm ready to call that success.
That was a long answer. The short answer is no, I can't eat anything I want. But I can eat some bad things in small doses. And if I eat too many bad things, it's a temporary setback.
