I know a prior study has pointed to certain fiber types helping with IBD or Crohn’s disease; however, I believe most people with these conditions are fearful of any fiber form.

Someone tell me, is oatmeal now safe to eat or not?

For me, eating half a cup of yogurt every day helps same as eating bran cereal, and lot less gas. Bran is very gassy coz it can not be digested in human gut. Only termites are good at digesting it.

Is it low fiber or just chronic constipation?

I know some people who consume fiber by the bale and are still constipated.

As an aside, there are some osmotic solutions (like lactulose syrup or polyethylene glycol--see Miralax) that fix the problem of constipation.

I suffered with Ulcerative Colitis after a lifetime of having a cast iron gut. I changed two things and it went into remission and has not returned.

1. I stopped drinking lightly filtered tap water and switched to heavily filtered water for everything I drink with water in it. I believe I personally developed a sensitivity to the chlorine or whatever the water treatment plant uses and it messed up my gut microbiome.

2. I all but gave up some of my favorite dairy products like ice cream and yogurt. One would think yogurt would be good with all the probiotics but not for me. I still eat cheese and once in a while I will have some soft serve ice cream at a restaurant.

Now this is what worked for me but I doubt it will work for everyone. Neither is an expensive thing to do so may be worth a try. It never hurts to have a good water filtering product as a backup prepper item too.
