Gastroenterologist Outlines Five Common Mistakes When Increasing Dietary Fibre Intake
Gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi advises that increasing dietary fibre should be done gradually, with an increase of no more than 5 grams every few days, to allow gut bacteria to adjust. Adequate hydration is essential as fibre absorbs water to aid digestion; insufficient fluids can cause bloating and constipation. Spreading fibre intake across meals and choosing the appropriate type—soluble or insoluble—based on individual digestive needs can help avoid discomfort and improve gut health.
