How can I increase the fibre in a meal while keeping its texture appealing?
Increase variety gradually and choose forms that suit the dish and the person's tolerance. Keep hydration and overall dietary context in mind, and seek medical advice for a prescribed diet or persistent symptoms.
Why it happens
Fibre can come from vegetables, pulses, whole grains, fruit, nuts and seeds, but adding too much of a high-fibre ingredient at once can change texture and may cause digestive discomfort for some people.
How it works
Fibre affects water binding, viscosity and bowel function. Different fibres behave differently, so the best choice depends on the food and individual tolerance.
