How to Fiber: Personalizing Fiber Needs for Your Patients Across Different Gastrointestinal Conditions | Orgain Healthcare Professional Education Series
Dietary fiber is an "umbrella term" as there are many different types of fiber that provide various physiologic effects in the human body. Key characteristics of fiber such as fermentability, gel-forming ability, solubility and probiotic activity can play important roles in tolerability and potential health benefits. Health professionals should be aware of how to adjust fiber types or change preparation methods to provide fiber's health benefits without amping up digestive distress in patients with different gastrointestinal disorders.
