Me using this in Roman times.

Roman 1: Is that poor guy dying?

Roman 2: No that's just him every morning.

Romans had a lot of fiber in their diet from eating a lot of grains.

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

You misunderstand. I don't have an issue with things not moving enough. Mine is moving too much.

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 20 points 3 days ago

Fiber helps with that as well.

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

My problems are beyond your fiber's skills or magic. I was born with IBS and I will die with it.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

No I'm pretty sure fiber will fix it

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 19 points 3 days ago

True. If your gut has decided that its purpose is to hate you and everything you eat, then no amount of fiber will convince it otherwise.

IBS isn't always lifelong though. I hope you can work out a diet that avoids angering the growling intenstinal gremlins.

costco fiber pills

you don’t understand how bad it is until you do (not you specifically), I always just lived with it

but these pills literally changed my life

it pretty much resolved my ibs, eating fiber and the water soluble powder never did a thing for me but these pills have been magic

water soluble powder

Oh god I'm having flashbacks.... That shit is nasty.

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Quit trying to kill me with your fiber! I assure you I have tried it. It doesn't like me.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

Stop resisting and swallow your fiber! We know better how your gut works than you!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
