@SBakerMD can I please ask for the links to you peer reviews scientific literature to back this statement up. As a dietitian this is a very provocative statement that really needs supportive evidence, which isn’t anecdotal?

Here are some interesting findings on fiber consumption and constipation. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3435786/ …

Thank you, I've read the study, it has several methodological limitations including a lack of randomisation, subjective outcomes & lack of data on if patents actually adhered to the advice given making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions

Of course it isn’t perfect. But it’s as close as it gets to the idea that les fiber is NOT harmful to health (and seems to improve constipation symptoms (0% on all symptoms for the zero fiber group). Something worth investigating further?

I'm not sure if does show this at all - this is a very specific patient group with idiopathic constipation so generalising to the entire population is not possible. It may well be something investigating more in a more controlled rigorous way.

I keep getting shown that paper and I ask the same questions to no response. In the conclusion they recommend follow up trials, but I can’t find them. It also didn’t distinguish between soluble and insoluble fibre. These would be interesting test parameters.

Also, the recommended diet seemed significantly restricted. Would be interesting to see calorie intake across groups, could just be that the "no fibre" group mostly stopped eating
