Fibrous / chewy foods create problems for me; I can't tolerate raw fruits/veggies, beans, or toasted grains (e.g., toast, pizza, oatmeal). I have stomach pains and intense hunger if i don't eat. However, when I do eat, and regardless of what I eat, I feel tired/lethargic/brain-fogged shortly thereafter.
I think bad gut bacteria are to blame for all of this ... they are living off of (and fermenting) the food matter that we consume, and they are smart enough to force you to eat (to relieve the stomach pains) because then they get what they need to survive.
For what it's worth, I took antibiotics, on and off, for much of my childhood and teenage years.
My hope is that oral super-biotics -- basically fecal transplants in a pill -- will resolve all of this. They will be available in the not-too-distant future.
Anyone else have problems with high-fiber foods?
