Fiber... how much do you get a day?

[RAINRA]

I know fiber is really good for you but how much is too much?

 

How much fiber in grams do you eat a day? Can you eat to much...?

Do you monitor your fiber intake? Do you very eating white grains with whole grains?

I eat too much I think but it's hard keeping low.

You can get too much I think, and make your tummy unhappy. The least I get is 25-30, and the most I ever got was 92. Damn that was a tough day...

I want to say probably between 40 and 60. That's a rough guess. It's kinda hard not to get a ton of fiber eating a plant based diet, especially if you're like me and trying to cut out processed stuff and eating whole.

I just had 40 when I ate dinner( A whole package of spaghetti ). And considering that's all I eat in a day( Do to money restraints ) about 40 a day.

I happened to track my fiber yesterday and it was 44g. Seems appropriate to me. You can technically eat too much fiber, what I have read is that too much fiber will prevent your body from absorbing nutrients. I don't know how much truth there is to that, and/or what level is "too much". It's usually recommended that you get 25-35g, but that seems impossible to me, eating a vegan diet, and eating as many calories as I do.

I dunno how much.. I get a lot I think though.. I usually just go once a day.

 

I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome so I need to take probiotics and get lots of fiber to keep everything normal in there. So far, eating the same foods everyday and taking my probiotic every morning before breakfast works the best.

 

Last week everything was irregular cuz I ran out of probiotic pills. I was so miserable.

Usually between 75 and 95 g, but I'm insanely high-fiber, high-protein, low-fat, and I drink 180-200 oz of water a day. And different people can handle different amounts. 35-55 is probably a good amount.
