Soluble fiber appears to reduce cardiovascular disease and hypertension by 20%.

So it is not a supplement other than that? What of those who have persistent IBS regardless of use of fiber and other non-drug aids? Didn't you post something about creatine?

I don't immediately recall creatine helping, but soluble fiber like resistant starch (not inulin) can help with short chain fatty acids and good gut bacteria. Also, manganese is good, among other things.

Take a look through this:

I would suggest supplementing with 5 mg a day, but the Upper Tolerable Limit is 11 mg a day. We do get some from food.

My wife and I get over 30 grams of soluble fiber a day, primarily from newer keto bread options. We do add psyllium on top, as well.

I would also encourage considering a fast mimicking diet for five days, three months in a row.

I had to take some strong antibiotics about two years ago and was left with large intestinal pains. They have only recently basically gone. I did these things and also took probiotics. It would be similar for IBD, as you will note from the keyword search.

Daniel, I apologize, as I responded for IBD and not IBS.

Here is a listing of articles tied to IBS:

This is a keyword search at Medical Xpress for IBS:

There are up to around 12 articles a month for IBS. You can scan the titles pretty quickly for what matters. I would open up a separate window to not lose your position in the list.

I hope these can help, sir.
