Home Care Advice - High Fiber Diet

High Fiber Diet

  • A high fiber diet will help improve your intestinal function and soften your BM's. The fiber works by holding more water in your stools.
    • Try to eat fresh fruit and vegetables at each meal (peas, prunes, citrus, apples, beans, corn).
    • Eat more grain foods (bran flakes, bran muffins, graham crackers, oatmeal, brown rice, and whole wheat bread). Popcorn is a source of fiber.
