Confused about fiber? You're not alone. Not all fiber is created equal. Roughage is insoluble fiber — often "scratchy" in texture. Many people with IBS or IBD have been told to increase their intake of soluble fiber: the soothing substance that turns into a gel and helps to calm an irritated digestive system. However, it's often difficult to find fiber information for the foods you consume every day. No more guessing. This book contains more than 450 entries in several charts — useful for anyone with bowel problems like diarrhea/constipation, or for health-conscious individuals interested in increasing their daily fiber consumption. Take control of your life. Get the fiber information you need to help control that angry bowel. Additional chapters include: • How Much Fiber Do You Need? • Foods High in Soluble Fiber • Foods High in Insoluble Fiber • How Does Soluble Fiber Help IBS and IBD? • Internet Resources
