Vegetables
Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, peas, and leafy greens can increase your daily fiber intake.
Whole Grains
Oats, whole-wheat bread, brown rice, and other whole grains can be useful alternatives to highly refined grains.
Beans and Lentils
Beans, chickpeas, lentils, and other legumes are naturally rich infiber and
can be included in soups, salads, or main meals.
Seeds
Flaxseed and other seeds can contribute fiber to the diet. If you increase your fiber intake, remember to increase fluids appropriately as well.
Why You May Feel “Full of Waste”
Bloating does not necessarily mean that kilograms of old stool are sitting inside your colon.
Bloating can have many possible causes, including constipation, gas, eating habits, food intolerances, changes in gut movement, and other digestive issues.
This is why the sensation of being “full” should not automatically be interpreted as evidence that your colon needs an aggressive cleanse.
A healthier goal is regular digestion rather than extreme emptying.
