Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Vito, No this would not be legal as it sounds an aweful lot like taking psyllium. Fiber is not really a healthy thing for an irritated gut. Right now, the best fiber you can get is from cooked and peeled veggies. How long have you been on SCD? did you do the intro diet? What are you eating now and are you taking any supplements.? It will be easier to help you if we can have a run down of what you are eating and taking.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hello Vito, << Is acacia fiber legal? >> No, acacia fiber is not legal. It comes from the gum of the acacia tree and is indigestible. It would end up feeding the wrong microbes and you'd be back in the cycle again. << If not are there any fiber supplements out there that are? > Vito > IBS-D >> If you are looking for sources of fiber on the diet you can have both legal soluble fiber and legal insoluble fiber. Here are some examples of SCD legal foods with soluble fibre: Fruits: apples, bananas, grapefruit, oranges, strawberries, avocado, papaya Vegetables: carrots, peas, Legumes: lentils, dried peas, beans Some examples of legal insoluble fiber foods: Fruits: apples, melons, lemons, grapefruit, pears Vegetables: peppers, greens, celery, onions, broccoli Nuts With either kind of fiber it is important to drink plenty of fluids. If you are experiencing constipation there are two great links on constipation at: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/ Go to the " Knowledge Base " and then to 1. " Constipation " and 2.
