To improve your diet, add foods that contain more dietary fiber. You can include some or all of the following:

Whole-grain foods (such as bran cereals) and breads (those made with whole wheat grains).
Fresh fruits (including the skin and pulp).
Dried or stewed fruits (such as prunes, raisins, or apricots).
Root vegetables (such as carrots, turnips, or potatoes).
Raw or fresh vegetables, such as cabbage. (Lettuce is actually low in fiber.)
Eating bran cereal in the morning is often the easiest way to obtain fiber. All-Bran, 100% Bran, Bran Buds, oat bran, oatmeal, and Raisin Bran are some of the high-fiber cereals presently available. Bran can cause rumbling intestinal gas and even some mild cramping, so it should be eaten in small amounts at first. The amount can be increased as the body gets used to it. The goal should be one to two large, soft, formed stools a day.

You should also try to follow these dietary rules:

Drink plenty of liquids, including fruit or vegetable juices and water. Drink at least six cups of water or fluid a day.
Eat slowly. Chew your food thoroughly. This allows the saliva and digestive juices of the stomach, liver, and pancreas to break down food more easily. It may also help prevent problems from developing in the lower digestive tract.
Eat your meals at regular intervals.

Entire grain cereals from Kashi are rather good. Look at the diet labels for foods with 6 grams of fiber or extra. Plenty of fine picks among fruits and veggies. The less processing, the more fiber.

Why don't you look up foods here:

You can find out about the nutrients of any food, or find high fiber foods, like flax seeds or oatmeal. Whole grain breads vary enormously in fiber content, so check the labels. Lo-carb breads sometimes have lots of fiber .

There are some food products such as barley, potatoes, and oats that contain fiber. Mostly you can get fiber from whole grain foods such as oatmeal, rice, whole wheat flour, and wheat bread.

Gladly! There's cellulose: stems and leaves of vegetables, the coverings of seeds and grains.

Noncellulose polysaccharides: hemicellulose, pectins, gums, mucilages and algal substances.

Lignin: the woody part of vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.

Legumes, whole grains, vegetables and fruits (with skin), nuts and seeds.
