The doctors told me I had irritable bowel syndrome. And the only thing a noticed that actually works is to eat the least amount of fiber as possible. And to avoid everything that is "enriched" with fiber. I can eat some vegetables or legumes with almost no problem but I tend not to eat too much of those. This way I can live almost like I was before being diagnosed. Everywhere I read that eating fiber is good and I can't find anyone else that shares my experience.

I'm glad you found a small solution. In my case, I don't really know what triggers the symptoms. It usually happens to me after eating, but I can't figure out what doesn't agree with me. Right now, I'm taking psyllium husk, and it has somewhat improved my situation. However, it is still debilitating.
