My diet is very low in fiber. I eat very little fruits and vegetables, rarely eat whole grain foods, and avoid beans. I recently started a diet that encourages eating many foods that are high in fiber. Now I have lots of energy, but I’m having some intestinal issues. I’m on my eighth day of the diet, so it’s too late to gradually add fiber to my diet. So how long until the bacteria in my intestine level out and I feel normal?

It isn’t to late to go back and start gradually. I would actually recomend that. You should never change something like that over night, you are less likely to stick to your new high fiber diet, and you will have the complication you are expiriencing with your intestines. Go need to start over, but do it gradually, each day add another 2-4 grams of fiber into your diet until you get back to your desired level. The process may take a little longer, but you shouldn’t have bowl problems and you will be a happier person.
It depends on how drastic your diet is. If you are taking things slow to get your body accustomed to your diet it may take 3 – 4 weeks. If you all of a sudden jump into a very drastic diet it may take anywhere from one week to two weeks or more.
It could be a week and it could be months.
I give you a big pat on the back for choosing a much healthier lifestyle.
Your body will level out soon enough. I, myself, should be following your lead, but I too dive in overboard first few days, and then I’m in misery with gas and pains, and the runs
Good luck with this. I’m sure it wont be much longer. Your body will soon adjust to accomodate your new diet.
Good for yoU!
It should take about two full weeks for your body to become accustomed to your diet shift. To ease this, spread your foods out over the day so you’re not taking a ton of fiber at one meal. Also, try natural stomach regularity foods like yogurt (such as Activia), or Tums or Rolaids.
i’de say about 2 weeks
