High Fibre Foods
11 Answers
Evening,
I think my diet is seriously lacking in fibre which I'm aware is needed in order to keep things in motion so to speak so I was wondering if anyone had high fibre foods they could suggest please?
I tend to eat fish/chicken with salad/veggies for lunch with a mixure of berries for afternoon tea, breakfast is a yougurt thingy with elevensies being an apple and dinner is generally soup with toast (wholemeal). So anything that could be added to my fruits or salads would be fantastic.
Cheers

If you're having symptoms which make you think you're lacking in fibre then Fibresure is very good.
It's a powder you can mix in drinks which you can't taste and adds some more fibre to your syste,
You can get a trial pack of sachets in places like Boots or a bigger jar.

Food wise, you could get some Allbran to spinkle over your yogurty thing, maybe some wholemeal croutons in your soup.
If things don't improve and you stil have a sluggish bowel then pop and see your GP to see if they can find a cause. Odd bouts can be normal but prolongued can indicate a problem.
Ps lactulose syrup is quite good if you need anything like that - just ask at a pharmacy counter.

after years of bowel irregularity I have found the answer, I make my own hummous from chickpeas, stir in a large spoonful of pumpkin seeds and linseeds which make it have a lovely nutty flavour. A small amount of this every day on toast or with salad will help. Dried fruit, such as apricots, prunes sultanas etc are good foods too. Sprinkle linseeds into yoghurt or over fruit or add to porridge would add fibre to your diet
