A member asked:
Recent ab xray showed dilated lg intestines, full of excessive amount of gas. could it be because i eat too much fiber (about 35-40 grams/day)?

Bloating: Possibly. When attempting to have high fiber diet, goal 25-30 grams/day. Titrate slowly to your goal, but to the level of your tolerance. Initially, fiber can cause excessive gas production and can be quite uncomfortable.
