too much fiber

Anyone know of good home remedies for people sensitive to fiber? White
rice is helpful to me but I'm wondering what else would be. Beano is
kind of pricey and you have to take it at the beginning of the meal,
which could get complicated because you don't always know what food is
going to cause a problem. I've read about using blackberry root and I
wonder if using blackberries too could be good.

Blackberries have seeds that can cause all sorts of problem in some
people. The home made juice is a traditional and effective remedy for
diarrhea.

Is the problem fiber or is it flatuence? Avoid the beans.

Sensitivity of fiber is a transitional state seen in almost everyone
that has been living for a very long time on highly refined food free
of fibers. Start slowly with just a few grams of fiber daily, then
increase carefully until your body has developed a bacterial flora
that can cope with it and your body otherwise accept them. Starting
with high doses only feed certain other bacteria that break them down
and produce lots of farts, probably stinking such ones if your food
contain some sulphur and your bacteria can convert organic sulphur to
H2S or mercaptanes or ethanethiol. Especially the last one is really
stinking and is sensible in a dilution of 1 to 10 millions if not
more. (produced natural in sheep by accident fed rotten cabbage)

Thanks for the responses. I know white rice doesn't have much
nutritional value, but I eat it because it allows me to handle other
foods that do have lots of nutritional value but also lots of
fiber-e.g. blueberries, flax seeds, apples, cantaloupe, spinach,
broccoli. For years I've been eating 5-6 servings of fruits and
vegetables plus nuts plus the occasional ground flax seeds or beans
when I think I can handle them. But it has never become easy for me to
handle these foods. They can all cause occasional diarrhea and
flatulence even when I try to limit fiber intake. The problems aren't
severe, but just annoying and slightly embarrassing. Further
complicating the problem is that I can only tolerate a very limited
amount of lactose. AND I drink caffeine. I'm not really willing to
give up any of these things permanently because they're all good for
me. But maybe this blackberry juice can substitute for one of my 5-6
servings. I'll look to see if they sell it at the health food store.
I'm wondering if it is sold in little one ounce bottles or if it is
sold just like other kinds of juice.

NO. Do NOT use blackberry juice that way.
You need to find the underlying cause of your problem.
Apparently, it is persistant? Keep a journal.
Do you take huge doses of vitamin C. Or eat
lots of sorbitol candies? Anyone in the family have
Celaic disease? Have tried no milk products for
a time?
