Thanks Buttastic, of course we all have other issues ..mm medically that has effected or altered our fissures. Some are more complex, so through trial and error. we find what works best for us, but each persons tips, trials and ideas and the like helps us all.
This is what I find through my Doctor and my trial and error works for me...Not necessarily increasing soluble over insoluble, but
placement.What I mean is eating the soluble food item first., example, a simple 5 minute plain oatmeal first then follow with a insoluble food, I usually take a little while to digest then follow with the rest of my meal.
Soluble fibre isn’t found in the foods we most readily think of as fibrous (such as raw greens or vegetables). Instead, it’s most predominant in starchy foods, including oats, barley, sweet potatoes, winter squashes, and white breads.(careful with the white breads)
Other sources are:
Rice
Pasta (white, not whole grain)
Soy
Quinoa
Corn meal
Carrots
Turnips
Rutabagas
Parsnips
Beets
Avocados
Bananas
(a) getting soluble fibre at each meal
(b)
eating soluble fibre before insoluble fibre(c) avoiding excess insoluble fibre
Believe me Splinterboy, avoiding surgery is definitely on my list too.
Good luck to all and happy mending..
