Pain and fiber

[Ozboz]

So I decided to try some probiotics than greek yogurt for bacteria in my gut's.
Then I started having this weird like knocking/poping sensation in my stomach and gut's. Then I realized I don't enough fiber and my GI told me years ago I need soluble an insoluble fiber in my diet to feed the bacteria and stop the D an bleeding.

My question is what is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber for us crohnie's and how long did it take for you to see a change in pain level's and stool's when you started a higher fiber diet or supplement program I'm on 10mg of oxycodine a day for really horrendous pain and scared I will get addicted to them so I need a natural way to get of the pain my GI say's a high fiber diet may help as it will make the gut's work better.

My doctor has me on Fiber Con.

When I'm in remission, I do 1/2 cup oatmeal every day. I soak it in almond milk to make sure it's nice and mushy before I eat it - if the oatmeal is at all hard, that seems to just make me feel worse. But mushy oatmeal sits okay with me. I also do 1 teaspoon psyllium husks per day for soluble fiber. Right now though I'm flaring so none of that for me at the current moment, fiber is just not my friend at all in a flare. If you can handle it, though, I think some mushy oatmeal might help you, and psyllium is worth a try as well.

I make quick oatmeal every am with water and sweeten with raisins. I really think it has helped me a lot. I cut out sugar and lowered my carbs. This led to me feeling pretty good that I can now manage a small salad every day. I would say that within 2 days I seen changes in my stool. Less gas, less cramping, less mucous, less bloat. I hope I can stay feeling this good for a long time

I wouldn't start with raisins, they kill me! Just start gently with Psyllium and build up from there only if you tolerate it.

I would think raisins might be bad for IBD.

I can't digest them they come out looking like they came in.
