Here’s Why I Entirely Cut Plant Fibers from My Diet.

A zero-fiber lifestyle was necessary for my digestive health, allergies, and autoimmune conditions. But it might be valuable for others.

It was not an easy decision as I was confused with conflicting information for years. This is my sad but exciting story of reflecting on how fiber made me unknowingly suffer from bloating for many years. I have intense regrets about using fiber and believing everything about it in the past.

In hindsight, it was a lesson learned. Now I have a zero-fiber eating regime, and my digestive system thrives.

This story does not apply to everyone and is not health advice. It reflects my personal situation. However, like many people, I naively believed that fiber was essential. It may be suitable for many, but it was not essential for me.

The nutrition textbooks that I read mandated fiber as an essential nutrient. My nutritionists and dieticians recommended increasing my fiber intake. My parents demanded to eat six servings of vegetables to ensure I had enough fiber. Even my family physicians suggested eating food with lots of soluble and insoluble fiber.

I was a good boy and listened to what books said, what my medical advisors recommended, and what my parents told me to do. Everyone was saying fiber was essential. These were credible people, so there was no point in going against their recommendations.

However, my poor body was suffering intensely. My digestive system was in agony. I experienced the pain of bloating every day.

The pain in the digestive system was getting intense, and my stomach was also getting bigger and bigger. I used to get ashamed of wearing tight clothes. My whole wardrobe was filled with loose clothing, hoping to hide my growing belly.

After years of review of the interventional study, I found no convincing evidence that plant fibers add compelling value to health. It was disappointing.

I documented my experience with fiber in a detailed article. I hope it provides valuable perspectives.

Here is the summary of the article.

“There is a widespread belief that plant fiber is an essential nutrient everyone should include in their diet. However, fiber is a synergistic anti-nutrient rather than an essential nutrient.

While fiber might benefit some people, it may not be necessary for everyone due to various health considerations. Rather than making blanket recommendations, it is crucial to take into account the unique needs and circumstances of each person when determining an appropriate dietary approach.

Fiber is a highly controversial topic in the health and nutrition communities. The confusion surrounding this issue is understandable for the public, as even medical professionals and nutrition scientists have yet to reach a consensus on its benefits and side effects.

One of the reasons for the ongoing controversy surrounding fiber may be the emotional attachment that many individuals have to it. In my younger years, I also believed fiber was the ultimate solution to all health problems, based on the information presented in misleading textbooks and biased marketing materials.

Nevertheless, I later learned that fiber can also be classified as an anti-nutrient and that its benefits are not always straightforward, and its side effects are profound for some people. This realization prompted me to approach the topic with a more objective and critical eye.”

Perspectives from Two Medical Doctors

I’d like to share an informative video prepared and presented by a medical doctor who analyzed fiber in detail and shared them publicly.

The points in this video have resonated well with me. I have no affiliation with Dr. Mason. I wish I had watched this type of video when I was younger and suffering from the side effects of excessive fiber.

Here’s a perspective from another medical doctor.

Conclusions
