Foods high in fiber and phytobezoar formation.

Emerson AP.

Clinical and Community Dietetics, College of Health Related
Professions, University of Florida, Gainesville.

High-fiber diets are being recommended by government agencies,
cancer institutes, and manufacturers of high-fiber foods.
Although this recommendation is appropriate for the majority
of clients, some persons are prone to form phytobezoars and
should not add certain kinds of fiber to the diet. The
phytobezoar is a compact mass of fibers, skins, seeds, leaves,
roots, or stems of plants that collects in the stomach or
small intestine. Other food particles, such as fats, crystals,
granules, fibers, and residues of salts, are incorporated into
the mass and contribute to the growth of the bezoar. Clients
who have undergone surgical procedures for peptic ulcer
disease or stomach cancer or who for other reasons, such as
diabetic gastroparesis, have a loss of normal pyloric function
and decreased gastric acidity are prone to form phytobezoars.
Once formed, the bezoar can be disintegrated through surgery,
by the use of the Water Pik and enzymes during endoscopy, or
by treatment with metoclopramide. The dietitian should advise
such clients to avoid identified foods that lead to
phytobezoar formation--oranges, persimmons, coconuts, berries,
green beans, figs, apples, sauerkraut, brussels sprouts, and
potato peel.

Does anybody ever reply to your posts, Wuzzy? I sure have not
seen any evidence of it.

Your abstract points out to me the primary motivation for
being proactive in the first place.

Avoiding being put under the knife, at all costs!!!
