I am pretty healthy and i eat so much fruit and i guess i do get a lot of fiber, and i like eating healthy but the problem is that i get a lot of gas afterwards, so its like..weight loss, healthy, with gas, or unhealthy. it doesnt bother me now, but when i start school i dont know if being healthy and having a high fiber diet is worth it!

This is probably what i will hav on a typical day. (this is probably a lot less fiber than what i am eating now)

breakfast- yogurt, whole wheat toast, fruit
lunch- chicken salad, green tea
dinner- lean protein, brown rice, veggie..

but that is alot less than im eating now, so maybe ill be okay?
can you give me some advice?? i mean, fiber is good for weight loss, its necessary! i just dont know if its worth getting gas for.

I normaly have a very high fiber diet (eating lots of vegetables, fruits and whole grain weats). This weekend I had guest and I ait a bit more than usually. I also had more salads and fresh food than I normally eat. I did not get costipation, and I think that I do my #2-s as normal 1-4 times a day, and maybe just slightly harder than usually, but nothing special.
This morning I had blood in my stool, light fresh blood, which was running a bit while I was cleaning up with toilet paper. Then it stoped. Second time I just did #1 in the toilet, and as I had some gas then, again some fresh blood calme out of my anus. I do not experience any pain, and a very very tiny itchy feeling…not even unconfortable.
I feel worried as I have never had similar thing in my life. Also do u think that too much fiber or too much food could cose this? Will it pass by itself or do I need to see my doctor?
Please help.
I am 34, absolutely healthy, mabye slightly owerwight…and have never suffered from constipation

I been on a high fiber diet for 4 months. I been noticing there has been a big change when I go to the bathroom. Very loose stool. Yesterday afternoon I went potty and I was in A LOT of pain. After about 2 hours of holding my stomach and trying to relieve my pressure and cramping I called 911. It was so bad that I could not walk or stand. They put me on morphine and it barley took the edge off. Pain lasted 8 hours and waking up today still have some cramps.
I asked them what I can do to prevent this from happening again. They told me "eat less healthy." I was baffled by that statement. I know there are products that help with gas like gas-x and bean-o. I don’t want to become an over the counter drug junkie. This diet up to this point has helped me a great deal to lose wight and increased my energy. What can I do?
I think I been over doing it with lentil beans. I been making lots of bean soups and eating that for lunch. I also eat egg white sandwich on whole wheat bread. I put some onions and peppers on it. Also been eating trail mix with almonds, seeds and raisins. Lot’s of salads brown rice lemon and garlic.

Hi,
I am 16 years old, female, 5’5" and 135 pounds. I need to lose like 10-15 pounds to feel healthy. I have IBS and I have been experiencing symptoms for about 2 years now. I have also gained like 15 pounds in the last two years. My GI told me to go on a high fiber lifestyle/diet, what are some good meal plans and meal ideas for this? Also, I am very active, so what are some ideas to lose weight on this diet.
i eat very healthy. lots of fruits and veggies. why should you avoid bananas with IBS?
