Answer 1

Fibre is roughage that is not digested easily and it keeps you from getting constipated. Fruits and veggies are good. Anything with bran in it. Cereals and breads that are whole wheat.

Answer 2

Lots of fruits and vegetables. You can also buy some type of "wheat germ" and sprinkle it on everything you eat.

When you buy cereal, look on the package. It should tell you how much fiber it contains per serving. At least, here in the U.S. it's a law that companies have to tell you.

Don't consume too much protein (meat). You need protein, but just get a good variety of foods, and don't eat too much from only one or two food groups. Have a good assortment and you should be okay.

You can also ask your doctor for a menu of good fibrous foods.

Answer 3

Quinoa, Whole Wheat/Grains, RAW NUTS, fruits and raw vegetables? Also eat LEGUMES and try to find some Psyllium Husks <--- take moderately. May I suggest Nature's Path Optimum Breakfast Cereal. It has 48% of ur daily fiber per serving which is 96% per bowl (healthy and delicious). If you are pregnant, don't take stimulate laxatives.

Answer 4

beans, peas, and other legumes, Dried fruit, apricots and dates
Raspberries, blackberries and strawberries, Sweet corn, whether on the cob or cut off in kernels, Whole-wheat and other whole-grain cereal products. Rye, oats, buckwheat and stone-ground cornmeal are all high in fiber. Bread, pastas, pizzas, pancakes and muffins made with whole-grain flours. Broccoli-very high in fiber, Baked potato with the skin, Plums, pears, and applesGreens
Including spinach, beet greens, kale, collards, swiss chard and turnip greens. Nuts especially almonds, Brazil nuts, peanuts, and walnuts , Cherries, Bananas, Carrots, Coconut
(dried or fresh-but both are high in fat content). Brussels sprouts. Check this site, this tells you how much you should eat fiber per day.

Answer 5

Cereal like, Grape Nuts and Oatmeal. Fruits and veggies (don't peel the skin off because that's where most of the fiber is).

Answer 6

fresh fruits & veggies, esp uncooked--raisins--whole grain breads & cereals--if you eat pasta or rice, buy whole grain.brown rice--beans & other legumes.. I add a handful of raisins to oatmeal in the morning. I tend to eat things in a less-prepared state rather than regular recipes...
