Heather, I am confused about something. I have had a test done that has shown delayed gastric emptying. Now I know that this diet encourages the use of SFS for constipation and diarrhea (I have Constipation) but while scrolling through the Reseach articles I found two different posts where studes say that slow gastric emptying is made worse from SFS. Here Nutritional treatment and here Diet and IBS.
It's buried in the articles but if you read down it says "Delayed gastric emptying may be helped by the elimination of fatty foods and reduction of soluble fiber" and "Gastric emptying is slowed with the ingestion of fats and soluble fiber. Small bowel motility is slowed by soluble fiber and fatty foods".
I'm confused as to what to do now. I've been working on increasing the SFS but now I am wondering if that is the correct thing to do. I do have Constipation and thought the SFS would help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
