If you live with IBD or IBS and are unsure how you’ll react to it, start with a small amount to see how your body responds.
Similarly, if you’re experiencing any acute digestive symptoms because of infection or illness, it’s best to wait until your symptoms improve before introducing high fiber foods.
Lastly, if you’re eating a lot of fiber and you notice poor tolerance of high fiber foods, it may help to cut back and introduce these foods slowly, in smaller quantities.
