Tips on increasing fiber? Discussion too, maybe?

I love the Fiber One brownies and they only have 90 calories and I think they taste just like real brownies. I also usually have some sort of whole grain or multi-grain muffin for breakfast. So between these two items I usually always get enough fiber. I am not a veggie and fruit eater really either.

Have you tried anything like Benefiber? I'm not sure of the ingredients so there might be something you could be allergic to in it...? But I take a Safeway brand and I like it for days when I didn't get enough fiber from my normal foods. One serving has around 3g or 4g of fiber in it and it's tasteless and you can add it to anything.

Have you tried chia seeds or psyllium husk?

Can you have dried fruits by any chance (sorry to push, but dates and prunes are good for fibre too if for some reason you can have dried)?

edit: psyllium husk is like the natural, REAL version of metamucil and all those other fibre drinks. Natural

Breakfast-wise, oat bran is very high-fiber (moreso than oatmeal). I tend to make a porridge of oat bran, flax meal, ~1t psyllium husks (can't taste it, increases satiety), and cinnamon. Then I cook in egg whites for some extra protein and stir in fruit and coconut oil. Obviously the fruit is an issue for you, but hey that can be omitted easily. I'd wonder, however, if you can do fruit that has been roasted? Like, roasting some berries or figs? I'd think that the heat would be sufficient to denature the enzyme (obviously your call to test that theory). Unlike dried fruits which are dehydrated at low temps, roasting would hit a pretty high one?

Chickpea flour can be used to make a few things including panbread, tortillas/wraps, pancakes, and a sort of tofu (google Burmese chickpea tofu). At 5g/1/4c flour that could help out for main dishes.

Coconut flour is allll over the place these days and is very high fiber. It can be used to make baked goods, microwave cakes (current favourite: 2T coconut flour, 2T cocoa, 1/3c applesauce, 1/2c egg whites, 1t oil, +flavoring/sweetener of choice--stirred together and microwaved for two minutes; low-calorie, very filling), pancakes, pseudo-oatmeal--all kinds of things. Coconuts are technically a fruit so I'm not sure if that would be an issue, but I'd imagine that even if it were, that by the time you've derived a flour from the coconut, that enzyme would have been destroyed.
Along the same lines, peanut flour, if peanuts themselves are an issue, would, I'd imagine, be sufficiently processed. 1/4c = 110calories, 4g fiber, 16g protein. Using it in lieu of peanut butter would help with calorie management and add fiber and protein. It's also tasty mixed in with yogurt, or used in baked goods, or mixed with cocoa powder and some liquid for a peanut-chocolate pudding.

Lentils are very very easy to cook and very high fiber/protein. Not sure if those are okay given what you've listed, but an option nonetheless.

I take fiberlyze - lemonade flavor. My diet is super high in protein that I need a fiber supplement. I actually love the taste of it i mix it with water and pink lemonade crystal light. No trouble in the bathroom after that LOL

light flat out wraps, has 9 grams of fiber its 90 kcals

I take in 30-40 grams of fiber daily. I use BarnDad's Ultra Fiber DX...it has a high amount of protein along with plenty of fiber. It doesn't give you the normal side effects of fiber supplements and the German Chocolate Shake is really tasty! I add it to shakes, and have tried most of the recipes on the website and loved them!

The Fiber One 90 Calorie brownies are delish! I also like Kashi Go Lean Crunch (it has flax seeds). Apples are another good source. I aim for 30 grams or more of fiber a day.

Can you eat coconut flour?

The brand I use (Risenta - Swedish brand I think) has 43g of fiber.

I am also trying to raise my fiber. I was trying to extremely low carb, and I got my IBS-constipation out of control. I realized that on my lowest carb days, my fiber was really low. I am going to try to eat more avocados (probably off the list for you). Nuts and seeds, chia, flax, hemp, etc help, but are pretty nutrient dense, so I doubt you'd want to get all of your fiber needs from this group. I am interested in seeing what everyone else offers, but for now I think I need to get off of the very low carb diet to get my IBS under control. Which a lot of fiber is from fruit and veggies (carbs), so I feel your pain!

To know how to get fibre, you need to know where it comes from. Plant matter has fibre. Animal products do not. The fresher the plant, the more chance it is fibrous.
Foods highest in fibre are raw plant foods. E.g. fresh fruit and vegetables. Have fruit on your cereal, as a snack or dessert. Have salad with lunch and vegetables with dinner.
Moderate fibre foods are cooked grains (oats, cereals, bread), nuts, seeds, lentils. Tip, swap to brown bread, high fibre cereals (low sugar), swap baked potato for pumpkin, zucchini, sweet potato, eggplant. Yummy! Put dried herbs and olive oil on top!
Low fibre foods are white bread, pasta, etc. they are generally high GI.

Oranges, apples, bananas, watermelons, pineapple, grapes, blueberries, strawberries.
Lettuce, carrots, celery, spinach, watercress, parsley, onions, sprouts
Chickpeas, brown lentils, baked beans, refried beans.
Getting any ideas?
Hope this helps x

...did you even read the post?

I get most of my fiber from green foods.

I eat a lot of celery
I also enjoy Fiber One bars. They do the job.

They have low card high fiber tortillas

La Tortillia Factory Smart & Delicious - Large Tortillias. Low Carb, High Fiber, Whole Wheat

80 calories 18 carbs 12 fiber - and they are big!!

Ditto! I love these.

My favorite foods to get fiber from are:
-Fiber one chocolate cereal (80 calories/0.75 cup = 9 grams of fiber!)
-Raspberries (1 cup = 8 grams of fiber)
