    Sounds like the low Fodmap diet would be good for you. It has no gluten or dairy. I'm surprised your medical professional hasn't recommended it yet for your GI issues. When my hubby was experiencing GI difficulties it was the first thing his specialist recommended.

    The low FODMAP diet has both gluten and dairy, gluten of course being a protein and not a FODMAP. You can download the Monash app or Spoonful app to see which FODMAPs various foods have and recommendations for serving size. They've been very helpful to me.

    Try removing fiber instead of increasing it. I solved my IBS, constipation and bloating etc consuming a ketogenic diet which still has some fiber, just not enough to transport me across the room which is what might happen if you increase yours if what your saying the symptoms are from your existing fiber consumption. Just my anecdotal observations :)

    For the last two y ars I have had some terrible issues with my intestines and my GI specialist recommended that I do a low Fodmap diet while making sure to hit fiber goals each day (25 mg). I am doing so much better with that diet.

    That being said, it's hard to get adequate fiber on a low-fodmap diet because all the higher fiber foods cannot be consumed. Here's how I get my fiber each day:

    Breakfast: 1/2 cup rolled oats with 1/2 cup blueberries and 1 sliced kiwi.

    Lunch: two tangerines and 3 oz. Raw carrots

    Snacks: skinny popcorn, kind bars and sometimes an extra kiwi.

    Dinner: small veggie salad or other roasted vegetables with my main meal.

    I also eat brown rice or brown rice pasta with a lot of my meals. This is just a list of the fruits, veggies, and grain sources in my diet to help get the fiber intake I need.

    I have found that logging and planning out my day in the MFP app does really help me to keep track of my fiber goals and look to add more fiber to my day if I'm not meeting the overall goal.

    It's not about one particular food in getting the right amount of fiber but an effort over the whole day.

    I love this! Great ideas for different sources of fiber.
