  • Mix in wheat germ to yogurt or sprinkle it on salads. Two tablespoons contains two grams of fiber.
  • Incorporate more fiber rich fruits and veggies into your diet.
  • Opt for whole grain breads and cereals instead of the highly-refined versions.

Your registered dietitian can help you with more ideas to bulk up your diet. Keep in mind that high-fiber diet is not recommended for anyone suffering from diabetes-related gastroparesis (nerve damage of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract).
