@jlharsh Thank you for the good advice. Dieticians and nutritionists are not affordable for me. I have been a vegetarian for 29 years and never had much trouble with gut issues until I hurt my back, lost my appetite, stayed immobile for too long and went to a bad chiropractor who had me take large doses of ibuprofen for 3 days. Recently I hurt my shoulder and did not maintain a high fiber diet for several days then ate a heavily seeded bread that made me sick. Not realizing that I needed to wait a few days on a low residue diet I continued to eat high fiber foods and it got worse. I think that was the trigger.
@ajwilliams it seems that a number of us think that we need to eat more fiber too soon, hoping that will get things moving…but that can back things up, at least in my experience…you are discovering that like I did, by trial and error…also, ibuprofen can cause backup…beware of taking too much as it can really hurt your GI…for good dietary info, the Mayo Clinic website is very helpful for a variety of issues.wishing you relief !
