More fibre is not always better immediately because the gut needs time to adapt.
A person eating low fibre meals for years cannot suddenly add large salads, rajma, sprouts, seeds and a fibre supplement in one day and expect perfect comfort. Gut bacteria respond to new fibres. Some fibres ferment and produce gas. Psyllium husk holds water and thickens. Too much too soon can cause bloating, heaviness or irregularity.
This does not mean fibre is bad. It means the increase should be gradual. Add one change at a time. Fruit daily this week. More vegetables next week. Dal portions after that. A fibre supplement only when the food base is clearer, or when the gap is obvious.
Water must rise with fibre. This is especially important with gel forming fibres like psyllium. Movement also helps the routine. Sitting all day with high fibre and low water is not ideal.
People with medical conditions, severe gut symptoms or medication use should get advice before high fibre changes.
Fibre is a daily nutrient, not a challenge to win quickly. The body often accepts slow, steady habits better than aggressive health enthusiasm.
Ambition is the enemy of a good fibre routine. One new habit at a time beats five habits abandoned by Thursday.
