It could be a quality issue. Could also be you need to back off and then build up slowly. Remember with fiber you do need to rotate the source every 4-8 days (ish!) Kat Hi Penny,

Only prob is I ended up with massive, painful, uncomfortably-stretched-skin style bloating for a few days after each tablespoonful. Have you heard of this before? Has anyone else? I'm now really worried about taking fibre supplements but I'm not sure I'm getting enough fibre from my veggies. Any thoughts? Penny. Hi Kat,

I’m now really worried about taking fibre supplements but I’m not sure I’m getting enough fibre from my veggies.

Any thoughts?

But that's not the case. Disagree :) this might be true if your body/food/nutrition intake were 100% toxin free and always had been. But that’s not the case.

Fibre increases elimination because fibre itself is indigestible and absorbs up to ten times its weigh in water. You're really just poohing out the extra bulk you're eating (plus the water). It's strictly a case of garbage in, garbage out. No scientific study has ever conclusively proved the benefits of fibre - it's all speculation. I'm not sure why anyone would aspire to do giant, unnecessary, loose, wet stools? By all means, eat your fruit and veges. But eating any product for its dietary fibre content is a complete waste of time. Actually, fibre doesn’t clean any “back log” of waste in the body.
