You might want to get some tests done on your gut microbiome. Fiber is really important for long term health. Inability to digest fiber is often indicative of gut flora issues.
- graeme 8y agoWhat tests would you recommend, and what can be done if they show a problem?
- cageface 8y agoGojiman has some good information about this on his YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/4VeRuSk76hE https://youtu.be/4VeRuSk76hE If the tests do turn up any issues the treatment depends specifically on what the issues are.
- windexh8er 8y agoThis. Dietary fiber is important to positive gut health (flax is a good place to start if you're interested). While cutting carbs and fiber in the short term may have some positive impact (maybe the OP was cutting out a lot of processed fiber/carbs) I can't imagine this is good in the long run. I'm, personally, surprised the conflated war on "carbs" is still a thing. You can't eat fruits and vegetables without carb intake. Not many people are going to claim the fiber and carbs in Kale is harming them detrimentally. Carbs are not the devil certain fad diets claim. The finger should be pointed at the type of food first by asking a question like: is it whole or processed. But lumping them all together is just spreading a lot of misinformation unfortunately.
