Hi. I'm sorry, Jenny, but I don't think the information you have is correct and it's contradictory to what's presented in the IBS Diet. Could you please provide a source for this information? Thanks! Also, did you see Heather's response to another post of yours? It's here: http://www.helpforibs.com/messageboards/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=diet&Number=304589&page=2&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&vc=1.

Too much insoluble fiber (like what's found in berries) can irritate the GI tract and it's these spasms in the colon can cause D or C. If you eat these foods with a good soluble fiber base (usually bland foods, like rice, potatoes, or white bread) this can provide a "cushion" for your digestive tract. Oatmeal contains both SF and IF, so it's safe for most people - especially if it's well-cooked and eaten with more SF (like toast). Bananas are also a good source of soluble fiber. Berries are higher in IF, but most people seem to tolerate them fine when they're pureed and mixed with a SF fruit like bananas. I think it's important to find a good mix of SF and IF in order to prevent IBS episodes.

Have you read the information on the site about soluble fiber and insoluble fiber? Soluble Fiber vs Insoluble Fiber
