How should you start taking this fibre so that your digestion can adjust without discomfort? — Siberian Flax Fibre with Fruits 280 g - SIBIRSKAJA KLETCHATKA

If your diet has previously been low in dietary fibre, a sharp increase can put a strain on the digestive system. That is why it is better to start gradually — this is standard practice for any high-fibre product.

At first, add only a small amount of the product — for example, half the recommended serving — and watch how your body reacts over several days. If all is well, you can increase the serving to the amount stated on the pack.

The key condition when taking any fibre is drinking enough water throughout the day. Fibre binds water in the intestines, and if there is not enough fluid, this can have the opposite effect. Be guided by the recommendations on the pack and by your overall fluid intake.

If you have sensitive digestion or chronic gastrointestinal conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medicines, it is advisable to consult a specialist before you start using the product.
