Re: YES, Fibre Supplements for D!       03/10/04 09:27 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - how do you do with soluble fiber foods like plain white rice, pasta, white breads, cream of rice cereal? You may need to get your body quite adjusted to those as the foundation of each and every meal. Some folks seem to just be super sensitive to any soluble fiber supplement, though it is really odd that you'd react to just 1/2 tsp. That's less than one gram, and you're getting more than that with soluble fiber foods all the time if you're regularly eating those. I'd disagree that the diet is too restrictive. It does eliminate some foods completely (red meat, dairy, coffee, soda pop) but no one should be eating those for their overall health anyway. You can get lots of fresh fruits, veggies, grains, cereals, lentils, beans, plus egg whites, soy, seafood, and skinless chicken/turkey breasts, and this is the foundation of a really healthy diet. It's how you eat that makes as much of a difference as what you eat. I'd like to know if your doc has actually seen the recipes in Eating for IBS, because I'd be really amazed if he thought they were too restricting. I really hope you're feeling better soon. Let me know if you're eating plenty of soluble fiber foods, and for now just stay off the supplement. I have a hunch that since you've had such bad experiences with supplements in the past you may be anticipating problems, and that dread can trigger an attack in and of itself. Take care of yourself. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
