Insoluble Fiber
While dietary fiber generally supports gut health, it’s crucial to distinguish between soluble and insoluble fiber. Foods rich in insoluble fiber, primarily in whole grains and certain vegetables, might exacerbate IBS symptoms in some individuals.
Conversely, foods abundant in soluble fiber, like beans and fruits, could alleviate symptoms for many with IBS. Considering fiber supplements such as psyllium, as the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) recommended, may offer an affordable and effective means of managing IBS symptoms. [4]
