I think you do have a sensitivity somewhere, and I'm not sure it's the fiber that's the cause; I eat upwards of 30g of fiber a day without issue. Admittedly, I am not getting my fiber from a single source. Instead, I eat whole-grain breads, lots of legumes, lots of fruits and vegetables, and various kinds of cereals (oatmeal with flax seed is a favorite). Fruits, veggies, and legumes are all good sources of soluble fiber. Yum.
Try keeping a food diary for a couple of weeks. Every time you have an issue, make note of it. You may notice a pattern before too long.

Didn't know that! Good to know. Didn't realize F1 was mostly insoluble. But oatmeal is soluble? Guess it's time to head back to that.
Yeah, I've already started trying to narrow it down to what might be causing it. Today I skipped the cereal altogether, but still drank the soy milk.
