Adding fiber to diet?
595892
It can help.  Generally high fiber foods will keep you fuller longer than low fiber foods.  Oatmeal should keep you satified longer than Captain Crunch, for example.  So if you substitute a higher fiber food for a low fiber food, you should lose weight.  But if you just add fiber in addition to what you regularly eat, you probably won't lose weight.  The addition of fiber should result in a reduction of calories in order to lose weight.

. Fibre containing vegetables & fruits (Banana is a rich source of dietary fibres)\n. Eat fruits as a whole than juices as Juices have less dietary fibre content than whole fruits\n. Avoid over-eating\n. Isabgol (available at any grocery store)\n. Decrease the amount of Carbohydrates (Chocolates, candies, sweets etc. ) from your diet as they significantly lead to flatus\n. Decrease amount of caffeine you consume in a day through coffees &/or teas\n. Do some exercises daily to help body consume the calories you consumed & make way for the stomach for its next fill.

definatly ask a preofessional dietician. i recommend organic food. more whole grains in your diet, veggies, and whole fruits. youre plan looks really vague. eat more of your whole grains earlier in the day, so your body burns them off through out the day.

I would think you are probably just eating a lot of fiber.  It does not sound unhealthy to me.

Hello -\n\nA diet with increased fiber and water intake is known to work for infrequent cases of constipation.  You could also try a laxative, though it may damage your digestive lining and lead to dependency later.\n\nIf you're facing chronic constipation, you may want to ask your doctor about processes like colonic irrigation.\n\nIf you have chronic constipation and would prefer to resolve the issue more privately, try a product called "Oxy-Powder."  You can find it on eBay or by googling it.  It works (allegedly) by delivering oxygen to the small intestine, which (allegedly) helps to ease and facilitate the digestive and eliminative processes.  It appears to be very well-reviewed.\n\nBest of luck to you --

I have the same problem and i have found that soluble fiber works the best.  The only place that I have been able to find it is online at helpforibs.com, you can order it from there.  Also there are some recipes and other things that might be helpful if you haven't already seen the website.

Fruits and veggies will kill you (not literally, but you'll feel like dying) if you have to avoid fiber.  I have the same problem so i know what I'm talking about.\n\nIf you are having a hard time digesting food and have a lot of pain, try full liquids for a few days for some gut rest.  Tomato soup, cream of potato, milkshakes, smoothies all should be OK.  If you have a food processor, you can puree your fruits to make them digestible, avoid fruits with seeds like raspberries.\n\nFor a regular diet, I suggest lean fish and chicken, pasta, cooked potatoes, mac and cheese, V8 juice, etc.  until your digestive system stabilizes.\n\nDo exactly what you doctor says.  Treatments are available for these types of diseases, but you have to allow time for the meds to work.  If you have further questions, email me anytime.

Eat cabbage, oatmeal, apples, etc. for soluble fiber and of course some type of exercise.\n\nAlso, here's some all-natural supplements that are very effective.\n\nOmegaGuard:  reduces the risk of heart disease/stroke, lowers triglycerides and cholesterol\n\nSoluble Fiber (e.g. Fiber Plan):  prevents fat absorption; reduces stress on heart by minimizing fat accumulation\n\nLecithin:  converts serum cholesterol to good HDL\n\nCoQHeart: Reduces LDL oxidation\n\nGarlic Complex:  prevents clotting; dilates small blood vessels; dissolves fatty deposits & thins blood\n\nHope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions.

Eat more fiber.  That's cheap.\n\nSeriously though, colon cleansings are a total waste of money and are potentially very hazardous to your health.  I know some people swear by them to remove "all the toxins", but those same people have no idea what those "toxins" actually are.\n\nYou asked your question in English, so I'm going to assume that you eat an American type diet.  To specify, I mean way too much fat and not enough fiber.  So, to actually keep yourself healthy and decrease your risk of cancer, start reading labels and eating fiber.  Also, drink more water and exercise.  Both increase gastric motility.\n\nSeriously, stay away from crazy people who want to shove tubes where they don't belong.  Unless it's a GI doctor, and they only do it to look for stuff, not for fun.  And stay away from enemas too!  \n\nOkay, I'm done.  Good luck.

Food is made up of various macronutrients. It is measured in grams. Eat lots of veggies. They have the most fiber. Lettuce for example has little else but fiber. Take a suppliment if you have to. Try to get 40 grams a day. Make sure you have at least 1 bowel movement a day too. This is important for colon health.

put some skim milk and fruit of your choice into a blender, then add like 3-4 tablespoons of fiber, e.g. metamucil. essentially, all diet drinks are like this: they use fiber to make your stomach feel full.

Don't THINK diet, just increase your level of activity and try to eat a little less than you normaly do. Adding fiber-rich foods and lots of water will help keep you satisfied and the extra activity will keep your body burning the excess.

My favorite bedtime snack are the Quacker chocolate chip Quakes. They are good for you and satisfy a sweet tooth. Just don't eat the whole bag like my husband does. I wouldn't really recomend fruit because of the sugars, but veggies are great especially for fiber. Hope your diet goes well....

You NEED to balance it with liquid intake (i.e. lots of water) and everything will "work itself out in the end".  \n(Sorry. A gremlin made me say it.)\n\nSeriously though...best to increase your fibre intake gradually, balance it with ample liquid intake, try Beano if you get too much gas, and expect to poop more, and more often.\n\n\nWHOA - just read the other answers.  People are talking like increasing your fibre is a bad thing to do!  It's not.  It's actually highly recommended for almost everyone.  Just be reasonable in how fast you do it, how much, and how much water you balance it with (most fibre-only products like Metamucil will recommend a minimum amount or water to take immediately with it.)\n\nAlso, be aware that there are different kinds of fibre - soluble and nonsoluble.  You need both.  Most people don't get enough soluble fibre, even if they get enough non-soluble.  (The difference in solubility is whether over time the fibre would dissolve in water.  Oat fibre is soluble.  I think wheat bran is non-soluble but I might be off on that one.)\n\nThink of it this way:  Non-soluble fibre gently rubs or lightly scrapes your intestine walls to keep them clean from gunky buildup, whereas soluble fibre absorbs more toxins and whatnot and expells them from your system. \n\nGo forth and consume fibre with good knowledge and understanding, and be ye healthy.  And yea, shall your days be many in the land of the living!
