What is Dietary Fiber ? Dietary fiber is defined as material of plant origin which is resistant to degradation by digestive enzymes, passing essentially unchanged through the stomach and small intestine, until reaching the large intestine.
Although dietary fiber is not absorbed by the body, it still plays an important role in the normal functioning of the digestive tract. Dietary fiber (i.e. fiber rich grain products, fruit and vegetables) comprised an extensive part of the typical diet of the UK population in the early 20th century.
Dietary fiber content has fallen progressively throughout the 20th century, and modern diets with a high content of processed food contain much reduced or little dietary fiber. It is not just the overall level of fiber in the diet which is important, but also the relative amounts of the main
types of fiber:- cellulose, hemicellulose, lignan and pectin.
Good sources if dietary fiber are:
What does Dietary Fiber do ? The components of dietary fiber have a filling effect, reducing hunger; they delay gastric emptying, and slow the absorption of food, thereby reducing post-prandial hyperglyceamia and buffering glucose intake. Dietary fiber components help maintain normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, by decreasing intestinal transit time, assisting in the removal of toxic substances and increasing beneficial micro-flora in the large intestine. Dietary fiber components also help maintain normal blood lipid levels by binding to (and promoting excretion of) cholesterol and bile acids.

Are there adverse effects from taking dietary fiber ? Dietary fiber is generally well tolerated; however if the body is not accustomed to a dietary fiber rich diet abdominal discomfort (due to increased gas production resulting from fermentation by intestinal bacteria) may result.
It is recommended to increase dietary fiber intake gradually, to give the digestive tract an opportunity to adjust to the change in dietary fiber content. Increased dietary fiber intake should be accompanied by an increased water intake (since dietary fiber adsorbs water), otherwise constipation may result.
It is not possible to overdose with dietary fiber. Increased dietary fiber intake may interfere with the absorption of certain types of drugs, which should be taken separately.
