Eating more fruit, veg and grains means we increase our nutrient intake. We need the fibre AND the nutrients in natural foods, we should not have to choose. If we wish to offset this supposed malnourishment, the suggestion above is to consume more vitamin C.
But where do we get the vitamin C without fibre? In a pill. Supplements have their place, but are not a substitute for a healthy diet. Adding animal foods to our diet will give a certain number of nutrients, but it will also add a lot of fat and cholesterol, which are far worse than even added fibre.
To say that we should replace nutritious fibrous foods with animal proteins is saying that we prefer to risk heart attacks and strokes than risking bloating and gas. We can get used to a high fibre diet so our bodies no longer get bloated and gassy, but we cant get used to high blood pressure and cholesterol if we eat a high fat, high salt, low fibre, and low vitamin diet.

Have you worked with someone to make sure you do not have leaky gut syndrome? If so, you can work towards healing the gut with probiotics, omega fish oil and possibly glutathione, which may help leaky gut and the autoimmune issues. I would definitely find a doctor who can help you manage this.
Hi Dr. I have a question for you. And I have been better about it; however, when I consume a lot of insoluble fiber, I seem to get constipated. Is there a reason for this? Also, is there a way to avoid becoming dehydrated at night? Hi Niesha, You may want to look into the fiber you are consuming. Maybe back off using the particular one you are using and see how your body responds.
You may have food sensitivity that is causing a reaction. You may need to be on probiotics as well. Make sure you drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water a day.
