gaining weight

Question
Hi
Thank you for your previous answer to my question on gaining weight, it's much better than the answers I've receieved from everyone else I've talked to.
As per your question, yes I have passed the initial adaptation stages. I wouldn;t say i feel like hell - i have plenty of energy and usually feel great, but when I think about how underweight I am, it can really dampen my mood, not to mention the fact that I find it quite difficult to gain muscle.
After reading fiber menace, I'm quite skeptical of eating too many raw fruits/veggies - are there any low fiber ones I can have? What do you think of cooked white rice, perhaps with bone broth to help digestion? I've read that Frances M Pottenger discovered that health is only maintained when cooked foods are eaten with gelatin rich bone broth.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks again for your help

Answer
Even white rice has fibre.Here's a standard table, among several others online, showing you which raw fruits, such as bananas, melons and oranges  etc. you can still eat if you're keen on a low fibre diet:-

The key point seems to be that you can still drink raw veggie-juices and raw fruit-juices(except prune juice) , so getting extra carbs without the fibre, as long as you remove any  pulp, beforehand.

If you're on a limited mostly-cooked diet, then I suppose bone-broths would be helpful re extra nutrients, but they are simply not necessary on a rawpalaeodiet as long as one has access to good-quality raw(grassfed/organic- or naturally-reared-)  muscle-meats as well as some raw organ-meats(organ-meats are particularly high in nutrients).

If you want to improve digestion, then a high-quality probiotic supplement(such as "EM"(Effective Microorganisms) products) is the answer(and/or a good-quality enzyme supplement, perhaps as well?). Bone broths or rice won't help in any way with digestion, if anything they'll make things worse, in the long run.
