As promised in my intro ("
hello i'm new here"), i'd like to ask some questions about what everyone considers good and bad food, specifically relating to AF's.
If food high in fibre can move the bowels, there must also be foods/ingredients which do the opposite and therefore cause constipation? Caffine for example.
So with that logic, you can't just look at the fibre content of a food, as the constipating content might be worse and cancel it out? For example (
and i've just made this up), you might see "rasberry ice cream" which has loads of fruit in it and think "
great, its got a good bit of fibre in it", but the fat and sugar is so much worse! ok, not a great example, but you get the idea.
So my question is, what foods should AF suffers avoid because they are actually constipants despite there fibre credentials?
