Fiber to absorb toxic bile
@christian
If you have SIBO, those bacteria are probably breaking down glucuronidated Vitamin A that your liver is trying to get to your colon, and that Vitamin A is probably getting reabsorbed in the small intestine to some extent. If so, I would imagine you would see a bigger benefit from fiber than someone without SIBO because the fiber will help prevent those bacteria in the small intestine from getting to the conjugated Vitamin A.
As I've said many times before, a healthy gut doesn't need fiber to successfully eliminate wastes and accumulated toxins. The real enemy is overgrowth/dysbiosis, particularly in the small intestine. If you absolutely need fiber to eliminate toxins, it's acting as medicine (a crutch), and ideally you would solve the root problem rather than entirely relying on the crutch.

@wavygravygadzooks Hm, you make me think about my decision to take regularly AC again. It's a catch-22. You want bile to be present, as it serves as a natural disinfectant, but you don't want the toxic bile to be reabsorbed again. Yeah, maybe psyllium husks are less harsh on the gut-lining. I guess I'll have to try them to compare the effects.
How would I know I have excess bile? I do have diarrhea, and it's a pretty regular thing. I've always assumed it was related to byproducts of bacteria dying-off.

Well, I'd argue that fermentable fiber is problematic in a person who has SIBO. I'd have increased flatulence eating beans. Hasn't Grant recently mentioned how he's eating fewer beans? Probably also related to the fact that he doesn't have much vA stored in his body anymore.

Well, isn't food to some extend medicine? It might be the case in an ideal environment that there won't be much of a need for fiber. But most people have some sort of dysbiosis anyway.
