What is appropriate when returning from a low-fibre diet to a normal-fibre diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gradually increase fibre intake and monitor digestive tolerance
After a period of low fibre, the digestive system may react to a sudden increase with gas, bloating, cramps, or altered bowel movements. Fibre should therefore be increased step by step using varied foods, while tolerance and stool pattern are monitored. Adequate fluid is usually important unless medically restricted.
