How do I eat more fiber without getting gassy?
Increase fiber slowly over a few weeks and drink more water alongside it; that gives your gut time to adapt. Oats, berries and cooked vegetables are usually easier to start with than a big bowl of beans.
- Add one extra serving a day: a piece of fruit, a spoon of ground flax, a side of vegetables.
- Cooked vegetables are often gentler than large raw salads at first.
