how to get rid of stomach gas pains after eating high fiber food?

[Chicken?]

i get these horrible cramps after eating high fiber food.. and cutting back on the high fiber food isn't going to work bc i really need the fiber if you know what i mean..

[sunngodd]

Could the fiber be spread out more?

Look into how much fiber you actually need, too much fiber causes stomach discomfort.

would drinking more water help?

You might be lacking digestive enzymes. (What happened to me)

Go to www.purtian.com and lookup acidophilusm, it might help.

Like sunngodd said try to spread out the fibrous foods.

Water is good but i don't think would help with this situation unfortunately.

Betaine HCL..... helps digest food. I have it with every meal now!!

[VT-hokiefied]

any of the gas-x, beano, etc. should help

but also, if you are just starting to use fiber, you need to increase the amount you have per day gradually. that should help eliminate some of the pain.

supplement with:
a high potency digestive enzyme
Probiotics
Ginger, Chamomile, Egyptian Licorice Tea
Eater's Digest Tea after meals..really works!!

Definitely get some enzymes and plenty of water. Men need not go over 50g of fiber a day. I get in 43 grams on a good day but no gassy side affects. Go for less than 10 grams of fiber a meal if you are having problems.

maybe give Apple cider vinegar with mother a try.
works with heartburn and acid reflux, at least...

Try Papaya Enzyme.
