Pages: 1 Insoluble Fiber question for Heather       #69074 - 05/10/04 12:57 PM Edit Reply Quote mickz Reged: 09/07/03 Posts: 151 Loc: Jacksonville, FL Does pureeing, cooking or peeling beans and fruits such as beans and apples lessen the amount of insoluble fiber that they contain? -------------------- IBS-C, pain predominant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Insoluble Fiber question for Heather       #69146 - 05/10/04 03:24 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Peeling would lessen the amount, because you're actually removing the insoluble fiber. Cooking and pureeing the foods just mechanically breaks down the insoluble fiber, making it much easier on your gut, but it doesn't actually lessen the quantity of fiber that's in there. This is good, because you do want that fiber. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
