A member asked:
I just started taking fiber cuz i'm very very constapated i drink like five water bottles a day but still feel bloated help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation.: Fiber can cause bloating symptoms when you first start or increase dose. You may be swallowing some air as well. Goal is one soft bm/day. If needed add stool softener such as doss 100 up to twice / day. And consider prunes / apricots or senna in addition.
