Fiber for Constipation Relief 

Take fiber for constipation relief, and experience a more comfortable digestive system. Fiber helps keep things moving smoothly through your digestive tract to assist with bowel health and ease bloating, constipation and other conditions. 

What Is Good Fiber to Eat for Constipation?

Two main types of fiber are found in foods and supplements: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble forms of fiber, such as psyllium husk or inulin, absorb moisture and may help prevent your stools from becoming too dry, making it easier for food to pass smoothly through your digestive system. As this form of fiber isn't readily broken down by gut bacteria, it's generally considered the best type of fiber to take if you're prone to bloating. 

Insoluble fiber supplements, such as Citrucel, add bulk to your stool, helping it move through your digestive system more quickly. Insoluble fiber is ideal for improving your regularity and may help ease occasional constipation more effectively than soluble fiber. Some forms, such as wheat bran, may be more likely to cause bloating though. 

How Long for Fiber to Help Constipation?

High-fiber constipation relief supplements improve the formation and movement of stools through your digestive system, which is why products such as Metamucil or Benefiber usually take longer to work than laxative pills. While laxatives may work overnight or even in just a few hours, fiber supplements can take a few days to fully kick in. 

Unlike taking laxatives, the major advantages of taking fiber for constipation relief are the low risk of side effects, suitability for daily or long-term use and other potential benefits for your health and well-being. Fiber supplements may help you maintain a healthy weight, control your blood sugar more easily and lower your cholesterol levels

How Many Fiber Pills Per Day for Constipation? 

Most people don't eat enough fiber, and taking supplements can help address this to keep your digestive system healthy. However, some people experience worsened constipation from very high-fiber diets, so it's important not to consume too much fiber. Constipation relief is more likely to occur when you take a moderate amount of fiber every day and keep your intake consistent rather than overloading your digestive system all at once. 

Unless under the advice of a doctor, follow all package instructions for the fiber supplement you're taking. Doing so can help you experience the product's benefits with fewer side effects. If you're still experiencing constipation, it may be worth visiting your physician for assessment. Certain health conditions, such as thyroid disease, may cause digestive issues, and treating the underlying cause helps alleviate your constipation.
