HC runs in my family and I've been told I need 30g at least of soluble fiber a day plus insoluble. My numbers are better on the high fiber diet. I also have IBS and need to have fiber for that, and I thought insoluble was supposed to help clean the colon. But with the fissure, it's better to avoid insoluble fiber? I'm trying also, to figure out if I have a food allergy that causes the gas and bloating (mostly eliminated when I became vegetarian and I was tested negative for celiac) since it seems so darn random. I could be fine and flat and then bloated so big I look expecting. Are there some insoluble fiber sources that are better for fissures than others? What is your experience?
