Increased Dietary Fibre
for Constipation
Increasing total dietary fibre to 25–35g daily through vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and nuts.
How it works
Insoluble fibre adds bulk to stool, stimulating peristalsis. Soluble fibre absorbs water and softens stool, making passage easier.
What to watch for
Increase fibre gradually over 2–3 weeks to minimise bloating and gas. Fibre supplements alone without adequate water can worsen constipation.
