Pages: 1 35 grams of fiber per day?       #45383 - 02/17/04 11:29 AM Edit Reply Quote mickz Reged: 09/07/03 Posts: 151 Loc: Jacksonville, FL Everything I've read has said that for chronic constipation, you should eat 35 grams of fiber per day. Does anyone know what percentage of this should be soluble and insoluble? -------------------- IBS-C, pain predominant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: 35 grams of fiber per day?       #45385 - 02/17/04 11:39 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - the minimum fiber intake for everyone, whether they have constipation or not, is 25 - 35 grams per day. Anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 that amount should be soluble. And you can go higher than 35 grams - many countries have a daily fiber intake of up to 60 grams, and they're much healthier as a result. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
