Addie, I don't doubt you one bit.
I wonder what the average onset age of not being able to digest fiber to the point of serious discomfort is?
I've seen people able to eat hot peppers anyway, any amount, to those same people not being able to eat them at all. People that could eat salads day in and day out, to not being able to tolerate lettuce at all. People, like myself, who could eat a big bowl of homemade baked beans, to where I almost exploded and now can only tolerate a 1/4 cup at best. People that had no intolerance's to anything, to gluten intolerance, milk products intolerance, and diverticulitis that they did not have in their youth to middle age.
