Q. What is fiber?

A. Fiber is the indigestible carbohydrate found in plant cell walls and can be soluble or insoluble. The two types of fiber affect chemical and physical functions of the human body in different ways. Dietary fiber helps maintain healthy functioning of the GI (gastrointestinal) tract and is important for digestion and waste elimination.

Q. Why do I need fiber in my daily diet?

A. Fiber is linked to improved digestive and heart health, assists with weight management, and may stabilize blood-sugar levels for the diabetic and reduce cholesterol. Research shows fiber may be instrumental in fighting cancer and controlling obesity. “Dietary fiber deficiency is one of the primary causes of many diseases in the industrialized world,” said former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop.

Q. What are the two types of fiber and where is it found?

A. Dietary fiber is the part of a plant that a human body cannot digest. There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and is found in Psyllium, fruits, oats, beans and other legumes. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and is found in whole grains, vegetables and nuts.

Q. What type of fiber is best?

A. Soluble and insoluble fiber are beneficial in different ways. Soluble fibers such as those found in Psyllium and oats have been helpful in fighting coronary heart disease by lowering cholesterol. Insoluble fibers such as wheat bran are beneficial in dealing with irregularity.

Q. What is the recommended daily intake of fiber?

A. Fiber should be included in the daily diet beginning from age 1. Various health authorities and organizations recommend fiber intake based on age and gender.

· The National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine fiber recommendations are: men50 years old and younger, 38g; men above 50, 30g; women 50 and younger, 25g; and women above 50, 21g.

· The American Dietetics Association states the public should consume adequate amounts of dietary fiber from a variety of plant foods. It recommends a daily serving of 20 to 35g for healthy adults and 5g for children. The adult serving should include 5 to 10g of soluble fiber.

· The American Heart Assn. recommends that children and adults take in 14g of fiber for every 1,000 calories consumed daily. The Heart Assn.’s recommendation by age and gender is children 1-3, 19g; children 4-8, 25g; girls 9-13, 26g; boys 9-13, 31g; girls 14-18,29g; boys 14-18, 38g. All others should base their intake by daily calorie levels.

Q. What are the health benefits of fiber?

A. Some of the more accepted health benefits are: A high fiber diet promotes a healthy weight,supports normal bowel function, helps maintain healthy lipid levels for those whose lipids are already in the normal range, helps maintain healthy intestinal flora and helps maintain healthy blood-sugar levels.

Q. Are there side effects from ingesting too much fiber and how do I combat them? How much fluid should I have in my diet?

A. High fiber diets are beneficial to good health. Adding fiber too quickly can cause intestinal gas,abdominal cramping and bloating. Increase dietary fiber gradually over a period of a few weeks to allow the natural bacteria in your digestive system to adjust. The ideal amount of fluid to drink daily depends on a number of factors. The Institute of Medicine advises that men drink roughly 13 cups of total beverages daily while women are encouraged to drink 9 cups daily. Adding extra fiber may require extra water. Lack of sufficient water contributes to constipation and irregularity.

Q. Do I need to increase my dietary fiber? How do I know if I am getting enough fiber?

A. Lack of fiber in the daily diet is one of the causes of many of the diseases in the industrialized world. To ensure you are consuming enough fiber, check food labels to keep track, then determine if the daily recommended amount has been met.

Q. What scientific studies support claims of the health benefits of fiber?

A. Numerous scientific studies and clinical trials prove the health advantages of dietary fiber. The American Heart Association reports that a low-fiber diet can be related to colon and breast cancer, diverticulitis, appendicitis, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, ulcers, heart attacks, strokes, depression, dialysis and cataracts. The American Dietetic Association claims that use of fiber decreases Diverticular disease and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Researchers also report that fiber suppresses appetite, which may lead to weight reduction.

Q. Which is it? Is fiber good for preventing constipation, or is it the solution for diarrhea?

A. Both! Dietary fiber may be instrumental in relieving diarrhea or constipation.

Q. The Bottom Line – what would be considered normal regularity?

A. “It is not normal to miss moving one's bowels on any given day. It is not normal to solve the problem by taking a laxative. If your bowels move daily, but with difficulty or straining, if your stool is dry or hard, or if you don't move your bowels daily, you need to adjust your diet for the right amount of fiber intake.” - Warren Enker, M.D., F.A.C.S., vice chairman, department of surgery, Beth Israel Medical Center and director of the GastroIntestinal Institute for Cancer and Continuum Cancer Centers of New York.

Q. May I supplement fiber with the other regimens my doctor has prescribed?

A. It is best to discuss fiber supplementation with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you are currently involved with a medical therapy regimen.

Q. My doctor recommends adding more fiber to my diet. How should I do this?

A. Eat a diet with plenty of high fiber foods and reduce the consumption of processed foods. Natural fiber sources include whole grains, legumes, fruit and vegetables. The Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center recommends 25 to 30 grams of fiber daily for adults. Children’s daily intake is their age plus 5 additional grams. Use dietary fiber supplements, such as Dr.Chi® Fiber Blend, to complement your diet.

Q. When should dietary fiber supplements be used?

A. Use dietary fiber supplements when you are below the recommended daily amount or when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Q. Why is additional water required when increasing bulking fiber intake?

A. Bulking fibers attract water to the bowel to be absorbed by the fibers producing bulk and a soft texture of stool. Insufficient water might cause constipation, irregularity or other gastrointestinal distress.

Q. Are fiber supplements safe to take every day? How long may a fiber supplement be used?

A. There is no evidence that long-term use of fiber supplements is harmful. Doctors often recommend daily fiber supplements for people with digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome or chronic constipation. Consult your doctor or healthcare professional before adding a fiber supplement to your diet if you have been diagnosed with intestinal problems. Fiber supplements may interact adversely with medications. Always confer with a pharmacist or doctor to determine how the dietary fiber will react to prescription medications. Fiber supplements can decrease the absorption of medications, such as aspirin, warfarin and carbamazepine. The supplements can also reduce blood-sugar levels, which may require an adjustment in the insulin dosage of diabetics.

Q. I am an athlete. How will more fiber in my diet help me?

A. Research has shown that fiber is beneficial for most athletes, but that long-distant runners may want to limit dietary fiber 24 hours before running to avoid “runner’s diarrhea.” The Mayo Clinic suggests that long-distance runners should eat high-fiber foods after rather than before they run to avoid gastrointestinal problems.

Q . Are there some people who benefit more from fiber in their diet?

A. A high fiber diet during pregnancy can prevent constipation and help in the control of Type 1 diabetes. The October 2009 edition of Diabetes Care reported that studies have shown that pregnant women who increase their fiber intake are less likely to develop gestational diabetes.

Q. Are there studies showing that diet changes can alter the course of a disease, lessen its impact or prevent the disease?

A. Various studies have shown the benefits of adding fiber to your diet. The benefits vary depending on whether the fiber is soluble or insoluble. Insoluble fiber can increase bulk and relieve constipation and irregularity. Soluble fiber can help with diabetes and cholesterol. The lack of sufficient fiber in the diet may increase in the chance of gallstones and diverticular diseases. Research has also shown that an increase in fiber lowers the risk of colon cancer, coronary heart disease and breast cancer. It has also been shown to lower blood pressure, assist in weight loss and prevent strokes. A diet that already includes fiber will benefit with the addition of fiber supplements. Studies have shown that the supplements produce more benefits than the consumer can attain just through eating additional fiber-rich foods. Those same studies report that fiber supplements result in larger weight loss than by eating foods rich in fiber content.

Q. Can fiber supplements help me lose weight?

A. Clinical studies have shown dietary fiber supplementation assists in weight loss. Fiber, especially bulking fiber, creates a feeling of fullness and satiety and requires less to eat and reduces in between snacking.

Q. How does Fiber Blend differ from other fiber products?

A. Fiber Blend is different from all other fiber products. Scientific studies have proven fiber effects chemical and physical functions of the body in different ways. The makers of Fiber Blend recognize this and have created a comprehensive formula consisting of many different fibers thus incorporating a high level of physiological benefits..Most of the benefits of dietary fiber are well documented, some are just emerging, and many more remain to be discovered.

Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like material, which increases water content in stool. Research suggests that soluble fiber decreases blood cholesterol. It is beneficial for diabetics since soluble fiber has been shown to decrease blood cholesterol and lower blood sugar after meals. Insoluble fiber increases feeling of fullness, stool size and bulk, which promotes the movement of material through the digestive tract. That easier stool movement benefits those who struggle with constipation, irregular stools and hemorrhoids. Research suggests that insoluble fiber may reduce colon cancer and diverticulosis.
