dairy, in particular pasteurised dairy has been known to play a major part in constipation. not as much as fibre does but still dairy can for some.

The teeth for the most part physically breakdown food into smaller pieces. There are some enzymes in your saliva that will breakdown carbohydrates.

[@ETBrooD]

You need a ratio of around 3:1 or 4:1 of insoluble vs soluble fiber. Vegetables, nuts and seeds are very good sources. If you're constipated, add some soluble fiber (e.g. flax seeds). If your stool is too loose, add some insoluble fiber (e.g. chia seeds). Try not to exceed 35 grams of fiber per day. 25-30 grams should be enough for most people. Be careful íf you previously ate a low-fiber diet. Get your stomach used to fiber slowly by adding a few grams, and then another few grams on the next day, until you can safely eat 25 grams. Always make sure to drink a good amount of water during and after every fiber-rich meal. If this doesn't significantly improve your digestion, that means you're doing a few other things wrong. You might be eating too much sugary/starchy food, which in large quantities can cause digestive issues.

everyone's body is different and you may just need less fiber than the average person, and that's totally okay, but you still should try to get fiber in here and there, from whole plant foods, where and when you can, because not only are they just beneficial in the short term, but have a HUGE effect on longevity. people eating whole grains - primarily legumes (beans) - on average live up to a decade longer than those who don't. because at a chemical level, they're repairing tissues in your body that suffer from oxidative damage (which just comes with living - known as our "aging process") with potent phytochemicals, they can slow down aging and reverse disease processes. it's good to get some in, even if it's not a lot! just having small adequate amounts that suit your body personally

[@darkscienceyt]

I'm not really sure. Just a little theoretical speculation on my part. People who under go harsh antibiotic treatments that kill off alot of bacteria have to get a fecal transplant. Literally the placement of someone else's feces into your intestine. This is to repopulate the intestines so the good bacteria can grow. My thought is if a patient has to undergo a fecal transplant for that....then my guess is no, you can't repopulate, as the e.coli would be too dominant/numerous. Then again, this is science so ultimately we'd need an experiment or some published studies to really prove this.

Curious: if you try to eat fibrous foods while still having SIBO, what happens? I'm guessing since you don't have enough of those bacteria that thrive on fiber to break it down, more of the fiber just shoots right through your digestive system, making it necessary to kill off the e. coli first?

[@darkscienceyt]

My thought is the bacteria if your SI would probably break it down, and continue to break it down as it passes through your GI tract. Ultimately some debris will be excreted, but probably less than normal. I've seen in some treatments if overgrowth is too much patients have to be given an IV for nutrents instead of solid food.

Being vegan is only feasible in the modern world and I'm loving the privilege of being able to order supplements delivered to my door so I don't have to eat animal products. Animal products have never really tasted good to me and don't really register as food to me so I'm very happy with my diet. I tried eating eggs from a friend that treats them like pets (doesn't kill them after they stop laying, feeds back most of their eggs to replenish nutrients) and noticed zero difference in mood, memory, concentration, overall health, etc so I stopped. I usually recommend people to go half vegan if they can't go full vegan. Just making more plant based choices is better than nothing! Beans are excellent. I spend my life rescuing rats and it just doesn't ethically compute to spend hundreds of dollars on rat vet bills then use other animals for food.

The more fiber you eat, the more you poop. Haven't eaten fiber in over 18 months. All good here.

[@leoalphaproductions8642]

The supposed health benefits of fibre have never been proven empirically. These are just assumptions by so called “experts”. There is only one controlled study that was ever conducted on fibre, and what they found was the complete opposite of what fibre is meant to do. They found that a 100% of the subjects who cut out fibre experienced less gastrointestinal issues and more bowel movements. This was the complete opposite of those who were on moderate to high fibre diet. The study even went on to conclude that too much fibre can actually cause constipation. Mechanically it makes sense. You can’t expect an easy bowel movement when your colon is clogged up with all the waste. It’s like a traffic jam. The more cars you have, the more traffic you will have. Fibre is a waste product that our body can’t breakdown. So it essentially just goes right through us.

@@SenorJuan2023 that’s actually pure bs. Ironically. And your overwhelming evidence doesn’t exist according to the real scientific literature.

You’re probably referring to bogus articles written by some young girl in her 20s who thinks she knows how to interpret the data and the studies she reads.

If one doesnt have SIBO but an overgrowth of bad bacteria due to antibiotics and poor diet can it be reversed through diet alone? If I were to eat high fiber diet and low to no refined carbs and sugar would the good bacteria fix the mucosal lining and start taking over the bad bacteria? Or is antibiotics the answer to it?

[@ivanljujic4128]

Ik its been a while, but here's what I think might work: You should probably have some antibiotics to kill the bad bacteria, but you should also take probiotics to replace the good ones that antibiotics also target. Eating foods with fiber should, indeed, "feed" the "good" bacteria back into healthy numbers But I'm no expert, this is just what seems to make sense to me. I suggest talking to a doctor and asking _them_; since they are professionals and all :)
