• The propensity to pass gas: passing gas is good for you, the fibre increases the propensity to pass gas, the detail is that the gas produced is not just caused by the fibre, it passes any and all gas in the digestive system. Other foods cause the gas to not pass. This experiment can be tried by eating sulphur rich foods with no fibre, even after 24 hours sulphur gas remains in the intestines, while eating fibre passes the gas and gas stagnation does not happen.
• Food that decompose, that spend a lot of time in the intestines, adding fibre will shuttle those foods out quickly, the next day versus 3 days worth of meals. The stagnation of decomposing foods in the intestines is potentially unhealthy.
• Meats smelt going, and they smell worse coming out. Vegans who eat food that by themselves do not decompose result in no odour.

• There are times when eatig high fiber backs some people up. Rather than the daily visit to the bathroom because the fiber made up for a modest amount of food that healthy people consume. A proposed reason for this is too much fiber, your gut bacteria are like a tiny workforce. If you suddenly dump a massive amount of fiber into a system that isn't used to it, the bacteria can't keep up. This leads to fermentation, which produces gas, bloating, and a literal "traffic jam" in your intestines. It is advised that liquid is required is move things along and a decrease in the amount of fiber.

Influencers have proposed their recipes to move things along, for instance, aim for high liquid and high sorbitol.

• 1 cup Coconut Water: High in electrolytes (potassium/magnesium) to hydrate your colon.
• 1 cup Frozen Mango: Contains digestive enzymes and is much smoother on the gut than fibrous berries with seeds.
• 1/2 cup Pear (peeled): Pears are the "secret weapon" because they are higher in sorbitol than almost any other fruit.
• 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (or Coconut Yogurt): Provides probiotics to help your gut bacteria process the fiber.
• 1 tbsp Ground Flaxseed or Chia Seeds: These provide "mucilage" (a slippery fiber) that acts like a lubricant.

No pulp (which is more fibre).

Why this works:

• Sorbitol & Fructose: The mango and pear combo creates a natural osmotic effect (drawing water into the gut).
• Soluble Fiber: The flax/chia creates a "slick" gel rather than a "dry" mass.
• Hydration: Coconut water is more hydrating than plain water, which is essential for "unlocking" fiber.

Drink it slowly.
