It is an insoluble fiber and a lot of people really do have trouble digesting it (spinach too).

If you cannot digest it, you probably have irritable bowel syndrome.

It is because the human digestive track does not contain the enzymes we would need to break down long carbohydrate chains found in things like cellulose. We would not be able to digest grass either, but animals like cows, Goats and Sheep digest grass without any problem. Termites are able to digest wood. Different digestive systems are able to handle different foods.

The solution: do not eat insoluable fiber without something soluable, and do not eat it on an empty stomach.
