The foods everyone tells you to eat but are wrecking your digestion.

FIBER - why it’s RUINING your gut, and CAUSING constipation:

EVERY SINGLE PERSON was CURED of every single digestive symptom, by completely removing fiber from their diets in this study.

Yes, even their constipation.

It sounds crazy, but it’s the truth.

These people entered the study with symptoms of straining, bowel movements less than every 3 days, distension, pain, bloating, and even anal bleeding.

They cut out all fiber: vegetables, cereals, fruits, wholemeal bread and brown rice for 2 weeks, but were allowed juices, white rice, white bread and animal proteins.

Those who COMPLETELY STOPPED fiber intake went from one bowel movement every 4 days to one every single day.

Those put on a reduced fiber diet increased their bowel movements to one every 2 days compared with 1 every 4 days on the high fiber diet.

Those who continued with high dietary fiber intake had one bowel movement per WEEK.

Completely the opposite of the mainstream narrative.

Abdominal pain in the subjects was again, 100% CURED by completely cutting out ALL fiber.

They also cured their anal bleeding and bloating, and eliminated the need to strain for movements.

Every. Single. Person.

Do you understand how insane this is?

Why is no one talking about this?

People on a reduced fiber diet improved all of their digestive symptoms as well.

Nearly all of these patients chose to continue on a reduced fiber diet, with most maintaining the zero fiber diet.

A handful continued on a high fiber diet, for various reasons including being vegetarians or inability to stop consuming dietary fiber "due to constant media and peer pressure to increase dietary fiber."

The brainwashing runs deep.

Another study showed that a fiber restricted diet (<10 grams per day) was again a life changing therapy for IBS patients.

HALF of IBS patients reported SIGNIFICANT improvement (>60% improvement), with 9% reporting COMPLETE RESOLUTION of all symptoms

Diarrhea, gas, bloating, pain, and yes, even constipation.

This is repeatedly found in the research, yet no doctor seems to know it.

The few that do have noted in clinical practice that increasing fiber can CAUSE symptoms.

HALF of people refuse to do it because of the symptoms it causes.

“Patients’ compliance with the use of fiber supplements is poor because of their side effects, which include flatulence, distention, bloating, and unpleasant taste.”

"Compliance with increasing dietary fiber and use of fiber supplements, however, is estimated to be as low as 50%"

“Many patients with more severe constipation get worse symptoms when increasing dietary fiber intake.”

Soluble dietary fiber is fermented by gut bacteria, which produce gasses like hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

This happens even in gut bacteria that are considered “good.”

More classically “bad” bacteria produce methane gas.

This gas buildup puts pressure on different parts of the gut, leading to pain, bloating and distention.

Methane is also a well known inhibitor of gut motility, being ubiquitous in constipation.

This is at least one way that it can cause problems.

One study showed that a reduced fiber diet dramatically improved gut symptoms and gas production:

“maximum rates of gas excretion (mainly hydrogen) were much greater in IBS patients than in controls.

On an exclusion diet, which significantly improved symptoms, gas excretion (hydrogen and methane) fell dramatically, but no such change occurred in controls.

Our findings are consistent with the suggestion that the IBS may be caused by abnormal colonic fermentation”

Another study on IBS patients gave them either antibiotics or fiber free diets to reduce bacterial driven fermentation.

Again, the reduction of fiber reduced gas and improved their symptoms.

“Antibiotics significantly reduced the 24-hr excretion of hydrogen and total gas and the maximum rate of gas excretion, as did a no-fiber diet, with a significant improvement in abdominal symptoms.”

“IBS may be associated with rapid excretion of gaseous products of fermentation, whose reduction may improve symptoms.”

A review of 20 studies showed that while insoluble fiber made stool bigger and increased colonic motility, these individuals still experienced less frequent stools and slower bowel movements compared to those without constipation, regardless of fiber consumption.

The use of fiber supplements resulted in an increase of only 1 to 1.4 bowel movements per week!

Pretty negligible in the grand scheme of things.

Another review found that fiber barely affected overall symptom relief and constipation for IBS.

The impact of soluble versus insoluble fiber on IBS symptoms varies, but insoluble fiber sometimes exacerbates symptoms.

In general fiber tends to WORSEN abdominal pain.

Insoluble fiber literally works by being an indigestible irritant.

Its actions can be mimicked by eating PLASTIC.

No joke.

If your intestine is sensitive, this is possibly the worst thing you can do!

Avoiding all fiber is used clinically to induce REMISSION even for YEARS in inflammatory digestive conditions like Crohn’s disease, being as effective as some of the top drugs.

It is also known that a low fiber is the best option for patients experiencing pain during diverticulitis, a condition of an inflamed gut.

Even the major institutions all acknowledge that restricting dietary fiber is critical in treating these severe gut issues.

That’s because fiber is either fermentable and contributes to the bacterial inflammation, or it is a direct irritant.

Avoiding it when your gut is compromised is crucial.

If you have IBS or other gut problems, your odds of getting Crohn’s, Diverticulitis or Ulcerative Colitis skyrockets, up to a 15 FOLD increased risk!

These serious conditions are simply the more advanced version of gut problems your doctors will tell you not to worry about.

In BOTH cases, REDUCING or even eliminating fiber can be a Godsend.

Adding fiber to the diet remains by far the most recommended dietary treatment in clinical practice.

A massive patient survey showed that up to 76% of all IBS patients are given this suggestion by their doctors, yet just 5-13% of patients report high satisfaction.

“today, gastroenterologists are more likely to see patients who have failed a trial of high-fiber diet than those who take insufficient fiber”

People have this idea that constipation is the absence of stool production, leading to the erroneous belief that more feces would ease defecation.

In reality, constipation involves difficulty in passing stool already present in the rectum, and increasing fiber intake, which enlarges fecal bulk, does not alleviate this issue.

It does the exact opposite, exacerbating the problem by increasing stool size and bulk.

Researchers have ridiculed the idea of fiber curing constipation, saying

“The role of dietary fiber in constipation is analogous to cars in traffic congestion. The only way to alleviate slow traffic would be to decrease the number of cars and to evacuate the remaining cars quickly. Should we add more cars, the congestion would only be worsened. ”
