Rethinking fibre
Struggling with gas and bloating? Experiencing symptoms of IBS or autoimmune conditions? Feeling low or dealing with depressive symptoms? If any of these resonate with you, read on. Letā€™s Put Fibre Into Context... What is fibre? Fibre is essentially the indigestible portion of carbohydrates. These chains of sugars, known as polysaccharides, are linked in a way that human intestines cannot break down or absorb. Unlike some animals that can ferment fibre into usable energy, humans lack the enzymes and specialized bacteria required for this process. Fibre comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Neither provides direct nutritional value to humans because they cannot be absorbed. - Insoluble fibre (e.g., cellulose) does not dissolve in water and primarily acts as a bulking agent. Foods like leafy greens, legumes, and whole grains contain this type of fibre. - Soluble fibre (e.g., pectin) dissolves in water and forms a gel. Youā€™ll find this in foods like apples, oats, and beans. While it can be partially fermented by gut bacteria, this process often leads to gas production and other digestive discomfort. Is Fibre Really Necessary? Advocates claim that fibre feeds the gut microbiome, but itā€™s worth questioning whether this is truly beneficial for everyone. The bacteria that ferment fibre can trigger inflammation and even contribute to autoimmune responses. Gluten, for example, can aggravate conditions like Hashimotoā€™s thyroiditis. In fact, some individuals see a reduction in inflammation and significant improvement in their symptoms by eliminating grains and high-fibre foods from their diet. Rethinking Fibreā€™s Role in Your Health Weā€™re often told fibre helps with digestion and cholesterol control. But hereā€™s something to consider: cholesterol is essential for a healthy brain and body, so why are we trying to reduce its absorption with fiber? And while fibre may bulk up stools, animals that eat a purely carnivorous diet manage without it, having natural, healthy bowel movements without the need for fibre.

this is so interesting. And I was gonna ask is it true you have to check your blood type before going on a carnivore diet?
