How Can I Determine How Much Fiber I Need?

Sources Of Fiber

Looking for some good sources of fiber? It's found in fresh and dried fruits, raw vegetables, legumes, whole-grain and rye breads, buckwheat, bulgur, barley, and other whole grains, and oatmeal. Just two tablespoons of wheat or oat bran provide close to the minimum daily requirements for fiber. Remember to start off slowly if you're not used to fiber because it can cause bloating and diarrhea AND remember to drink LOTS of water to keep the roughage moving through your body!
