I am trying to cut out bread as it makes me feel sick, but am struggling to reach my fiber target. I am taking psyllium husks, and eat masses of salad and vegetables, but they don't seem to add up to much.

Invisifiber has been incredible! Its a powder with absolutely NO taste. Its put out by Nutrilite - you gotta find a rep to get it from, but my wife and I have been using it and its awesome.0

Cooked artichoke, beans (lima, black, lentils) and split peas.0

Not sure if the bread issue applies to these items, but chickpeas, oatmeal have a lot of fiber.
Sounds like you have the produce in your diet already. I don't peel apples, etc. so there's more fiber there than without...
ETA: Popcorn!0 -
Looking through my diary, these are the things that make up most of my fibre:-
- bran flakes or fruit and fibre breakfast cereal
- bananas, apples (and one day a melon and grape mix, probably the grapes)
- dried raisens
- some vegetables - aubergine, carrots, broccoli, avocado
as well as that
- dates, prunes - as juice, mixed in with yoghurt, or dried/fresh0 -
All bran buds ( i put them in my yogurt), popcorn, fiber plus bars, high fiber oatmeal. Feel free to check out my food diary for ideas, I log my fiber.0

Apples, bananas, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, oatmeal [not a bread, per se], even nuts. Juggle 'em around to see what you like.0

I add Arbonne Fibre boost to my morning protein shake. Gives me 12g of soluable fiber per scoop.0

Some of my cereals do like Special K Protein Plus and Kashi, as well as oatmeal. Blackberries are good for fiber too.0

I eat GG Bran Crispbread. Each cracker has 5 g of fiber and only 12 calories. I eat 5 each morning, usually dunk them in my tea. You can also use them as a bread replacement. I've tried BeneFiber, Fiber One bars et al but, those products made me gassy. The GG Bran Crispbread crackers do not make me bloated or gassy. They have them in stores or you can buy them online.0

Completely agree with this............................
There is no need to supplement if you're eating plenty of fruit and veg!!0 -
dense veggies and fruit, high fiber cereal (fiber one yogurt berry-omg delicious), clear fiber supplements to add to water (still contain calories, though, so make sure to log), but seriously, fiber one cereals typically have 10-14 grams per serving and many taste awesome you can add clear dissolvable fiber to almost anything- pasta sauce, dressing, etc. Make sure you drink enough water with fiber!0

Prunes!
I'm going to try to make some Nut Butter Balls this weekend using peanut butter, flax meal, honey and cocoa to add to my fiber intake. I really like these Sami's Bakery Millet and Flax chips (found them at a health store). One serving has 8 grams of fiber but also has something like 15g. carbs (not bad but I'm trying to limit my carb intake) so I'm hoping making these balls will be a good substitute.0 -
I usually go over on my fiber and had to raise my fiber intake. Mfp is set pretty low. Oatmeal, broccoli, fresh fruit (strawberries 8gms per serving) high fiber cereals, pinto beans, popcorn, nuts. Hope this helps. Good luck to you:)0

I eat almost nothing but fruit and veg, but only seem to make about 25g of fiber a day0 -

I have raised mine, as it was set too low IMO.0 -
Hi there...alot of the veggiesm fruits and root veggies have more than enough that our bodies need. If u consume too much fiber (as in graining carbs) could lead to digestive disorders such as IBS, Leaky Gut Syndrome etc..The USDA recommends too much fiber if u ask me..0
