Up your fibre intake slowly

accreditation
Do you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? Then it's better to go easy on the fibre - at least at first.

Take action:
Introduce fibre-rich products such as high-fibre bran slowly into your diet. Too much fibre at once can produce wind, which may aggravate your symptoms. Also make sure you drink enough fluids throughout the day.
