  • Title: Dietary fiber, bowel habits, and colonic function.
    Author: Devroede G.
    Journal: Am J Clin Nutr; 1978 Oct; 31(10 Suppl):S157-S160. PubMed ID: 707367.
    Abstract:
    Bowel habits have different characteristics, and frequency, amount, and consistency of stools should be recorded in any study, including those on the effects of dietary fiber. Several studies suggest that addition of fiber to the diet reduces long and prolongs short transit time and increases water content of the stool. Conflicting data are difficult to reconcile, and mechanisms remain unknown.
