Real talk, do you get hella gassy and if so how do you deal with it? I’ve been making an effort to eat more fiber and it’s created levels of gas that has me concerned that the US might bring me democracy soon.
First off, if you make a change to a higher fiber diet, you’re likely to have increased flatulence while your gut microbiota acclimates. Second, there are different fiber sources that each person may respond differently to. Personally, some legumes will make me gassy no matter how I cook them, but when I throw a serving of psyllium husk in whatever I’m eating, I have no problem.
You may have an intolerance to certain foods. Look up low FODMAP diet. Certain types of food can fermented in the gut and make tou gassy/bloated. Ive found that I dont have an issue with wheat, but switching to lactose-free dairy and avoiding onions has helped me immensely.
Not particularly to the point that I’ve noticed any difference though I’ve heard that can happen. I’m typically only doing 1-2 servings a day despite the bottle suggesting 3-5 servings, so maybe that’s the difference.
Because Agrocorp Phibre ® was only $10 a bucket at the big box store. I don’t care that it’s derived from blended chicken anuses melted in rainwater from Chernobyl, it’s cheap!
Fr who needs micronutrients when you’re hitting your macro goals?
I also do fiber every morning, but I don’t know if I’d ruin my coffee with it. I mix it up in a tiny glass with water and basically shoot it so I can enjoy the taste of everything else
I just learned about the difference between psyllium and dextrin, and think I’ll stick with psyllium due to its insulin modulation and LDL-reducing properties. Both will give you great poops though
Started putting powdered fiber in my morning coffee and now I have fantastic poops. I also bought a bidet which is nice too.

As a vegan who mostly eats fruit and raw veg, I am EXTREMELY gassy. Holy shit, I fart all day.

I’ll check that out, I already do dairy-free except cheese and butter but I will be damned if I avoid onions.
Your body gets used to it after a while, although you may still be a bit more gassy than people who shit once a week.

Why not just eat some more fresh fruits and vegetables…?

Its flavorless and dissolves completely so I don’t notice it at all.
What do you use? I use psyllium husk and it’s gritty
The Costco brand of Benefiber

Crazy, I literally made both those changes this year as well. I highly recommend both
