Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: So confused!!!!! Soluble vs. Insoluble

okay, i checked out the website and it is very generic and not very good. If I ate the things it listed for migraines, I would be on the floor every day with a headache. If I ate the things it listed for acne, I would be looking like a pizza face. In other words, do what works for you, not what you read.

But about fiber.........I would say from everything I read on these message board that the high soluble fiber works best for us that are IBS-D. You IBS-Cers have to have more insoluble fiber worked in to move things through, but always do soluble fiber and insoluble together so the soluble can "cushion" the insoluble.

That website was referring to IBS with constipation and suggesting insoluble to relieve constipation, because it would clean out the colon. Most advertisements on TV and in magazines advertise IBS-C...such as zelnorm, there is not much advertised for IBS-D. That website did not address IBS with D and C, therefore it was not a very good source, just generic info.

It was uninformative and I would just ignore it.
