Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is correct. 🧑⚕️ A sudden and significant increase in dietary fiber can overwhelm your digestive system. The bacteria in your gut that ferment fiber produce gas as a byproduct. A rapid increase provides a feast for these microbes, leading to symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal cramping. Health authorities universally recommend a gradual increase to allow your gut microbiome time to adapt. 💧 It's also crucial to increase your water intake simultaneously, as fiber absorbs water to soften stool.
