Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms
I can't figure out why this study has not gotten more publicity. All (yes 100%) of the participants who did the no-fiber protocol nearly eliminated their idiopathic constipation (started having one bm per day with no issues!) and reported zero, yes zero!, bloating. They did not include people that have thyroid issues though or have had prior bowel surgeries.
In relation to other diets for gut healing (low FODMAP, Fast-tract, etc) which are basically low in fiber but not no-fiber, this diet protocol specified the participants maintain normal amount of carbs which they were instructed to get from sieved juice and clear soup. Those other diets are so low carb that they are very detrimental to health. With the exception of SCD which includes grape juice and apple cider in the stage one.
Anyone know if this study has been repeated or written about in any journals?
Anyone tried this or have more information about this study?
As we know, Mr. Peat is not a lover of fiber, and his dietary suggestions are foods low in fiber but this study shows that NO-fiber is better yet. According to the data, the no-fiber group improved to 1 bm per day and the low-fiber group had improvement to 1 bm every 2 to 6 days, which I would still consider this to be constipation.
For me, I have been following Mr. Peat's suggestions as much as possible, minus the dairy and liver as they don't agree with me. But I have been eating well cooked potatoes and tropical fruits as carb sources.
I'm thinking I'll eliminate these and do the potato water and strained juices only for carbs.
Again, mind blown that this isn't a well known study as all 41 of the no-fiber group improved so drastically. Usually it takes around 80% of participants to show improvement for a study to be considered statistically significant, but this is 100%!
Maybe because it was such a small group. I don't know but I'd really be interested to learn more about it and find out if it has been replicated.
