Fiber is going to kill me

Ok, maybe a small exaggeration!
Seriously though, gas beyond belief. I am trying to be good to my body, by increasing fiber, and in return, I am a gassy, in pain, tooting, bloaty mess.
It's not fair!

Any tips on not dying of gas?

Cut out the carbs especially grains.

I went keto and I don't even fart any more! It's amazing Grin

You need to increase water intake when you're increasing fibre

You have to increase fiber in small steps, to let your system acclimatise.

If you do too much all at once, your innards will rebel.

I medically have to eat a low fibre diet (goes against all medical advice). Whilst discovering this with a medical dietician, I went through all 7 circles of hell. Hope you find relief

That stuff set off my gallbladder pain (Not even kidding) Felt like I was being repeatedly punch in the ribs.

I can't do lots of fibre, makes my IBS unbearable! It's not great for everyone.

Go for more soluble fibre over insoluble, increase water to match, take it slowly.

I'm going to try more water and slowing it down a bit
I can't keep being this farty, it's not fair on anyone
