Caution and Advice
- A low fiber diet is not a particularly healthy one since the body relies on plant nutrition for so many benefits including minerals, vitamins and nutrients for the healthy bowel bacteria.
- It is almost always a temporary one when it is necessary to put your gut at rest during a stressful period.
- Progressing to a high fiber diet is the eventual goal. This should be done gradually under physician direction.
- Read the labels. Count the grams of fiber.
- In some cases, soluble fiber is likely better than insoluble since soluble fiber dissolves in water and may more easily trickle through narrowed areas. Insoluble fiber may not do so. Again, your physician should advise you.
