it's difficult to tell why high fiber foods are causing you gastrointestinal (gi) problems. typically for reflux a high fiber diet is recommended because it increases transit time. on the other hand these foods are typically problematic. but everyone has different trigger foods and fiber can exacerbate some gi problems. here are some things to try: avoid eating a lot of fiber in one sitting. instead spread out smaller amounts of high fiber foods throughout the day. make sure you get adequate water with your meals. cooked vegetables and fruits without tough skins are usually easier to digest. keep a food journal of what you eat and your symptoms and consider visiting a registered dietitian for help identifying problem foods.
why do high fiber foods give me indigestion. i take prilosec but i still get really bad indigestion - not a burning but a painful and dry burbing indigestion. only happens when i eat high fiber foods - just about any and all of them - but especially in the evening or at night. what gives?
