High Fiber Diet : Will most likely not encounter any problems. Make sure your bowel movements are regularl & normal. Try to eat a varied diet so your body is exposed to all sorts of vitamins, minerals, proteins & other important nutrients. A high fiber diet may lead to colonic hypertrophy which is associated with sigmoid volvulus. This is rare & usually not seen with with the type of fibers mentioned in question.

I consume a lot of wheat bran due to digestive issues. I read that it contains phytates that hinder absorption of some nutrients. Is it safe to continue eating soaked wheat bran daily or am I causing potential anemia? I take multivitamins. Thank you.

I went on a wheat free diet due to leaky gut. My BMs were normal last week. This week, my intestines have been unstable. I take MagO7 as usual. And last night, my BM was small soft clumps but hard to pass. Why? I do drink water and eat high fiber.
