fiber questions

[Guest guest]

I am having concerns that G is not getting enough fiber on this

diet. He again is constipated and while the suggestions of adding

magnesium and/ or prune syrup are good, I don't feel they adequately

address the need for good fiber. This is how I see it. He needs

actual fiber to scrape out the dying/dead yeast and bacteria and the

limited amount he may get from his fruit/vegs is not an ample

amount. So he is sitting here with a good amount of dead stuff

producing toxins in his body and creating all kinds of behavioral

stuff for me now. I've got what looks like die off again (behavior

wise). I must point out though, that his behaviors had gotten worse

prior to the constipation- going on two weeks now with jibberish,

yelling, laughing for no reason, minimal interaction with others

etc.. My gut is telling me yeast, and My friend , who is very

knowledgable about this kind of stuff questioned if some other

strain of probiotic is needed in that the Lactobacillius Acidopholis

may not enough.

Anyway, G has significantly limited his fruit intake - except for

pineapples. I have backed off of them some in hopes of getting him

eating other fruit with fiber. But doesn't cooking the fruit break

down some of the fiber making it " easier to digest " ? I am thinking

I may not want to cook the fruit " as long " and see what happens.

Oh my head is spinning with questions now... the more I ask... the

more I have!

I know this diet was initially made for those with loose bowel

issues, and since G only had an occasional bout of diareha prior to

the diet, I wonder if I am not aggrevating something more by

limiting or decreasing the amount of fiber he is getting through

this diet..... I've gotta stop now. Is it possible to write a book

of questions.. I am thinking so!
