I keep thinking about this...maybe by cutting out fiber-containing foods he's talking about taking the conventional approach. Here we all know that all grains contain fiber, even the refined ones (difference between dietary and functional fiber). However; most people believe that only whole grains contain fiber but things like refined flour and white rice don't. So maybe he recommends eating lots of white rice? I read somewhere (I think it was Mark Pimentel's book) that refined carbs are absorbed higher up in the GI tract and don't make it down to the colon. But then this would contradict with what Heather says about soluble fiber in these carbs, how they make that gel in our colon to help with IBS. Anyway, maybe Monastyrsky means the same thing as Pimentel, that by eating white carbs we absorb them before they hit the colon, therefore nothing's left there to ferment, etc. So many different approaches - how do I know which one is the one for me ? I should have been born a guinea pig because that's how I feel sometimes !
