Good Gut Feeling Fiber Complex is a fiber blend in powder form. It consists of three different fibres that work very well together as they contribute in different ways to digestion and intestinal function. This is also the only dietary supplement in Sweden certified by FODMAP Friendly, which means that it has been analyzed with regard to the content of fermentable substances that can cause stomach problems for those with, for example, IBS.

We eat too little dietary fibre!

It turns out that we Swedes are far too poor at getting enough fibre in our diet, according to the Magra Report (2019).

-2 out of 10 adults eat 500 g of fruit and vegetables every day

-9 out of 10 do not get enough whole grains

-7 out of 10 do not get enough fibre

The same report also shows that one in two Swedes suffers from stomach problems every week. Good Gut Feeling is a series of 3 products for a happier stomach where Fiber Complex offers an easy way to supplement your daily diet with healthy fibers.

What is dietary fibre?

Fibre is the name given to carbohydrates from the plant kingdom that are not broken down during digestion, but reach the large intestine largely unaffected. Fibre is abundant in vegetables, fruit, root vegetables and pulses, for example, but also in wholemeal breads, cereals, groats, pasta and rice. Fibre has many health benefits for us humans. For example, foods rich in dietary fibre provide a greater sense of satiety than low-fibre foods, which can reduce binge eating and make it easier to maintain weight. It also requires extra chewing of fibre-rich foods, which increases saliva production, which in turn is good for the teeth. A diet rich in fibre also reduces the risk of blood sugar fluctuations as it provides a slow blood sugar rise unlike fast carbohydrates.

Different types of fibres

When fibre is consumed, it passes through the stomach and small intestine largely unaffected until it reaches the large intestine, where intestinal bacteria and other microorganisms break it down into gases and short-chain fatty acids. The fact that the fibre is largely broken down (fermented) in the colon is positive and beneficial for the composition and growth of the gut flora. Think of fibre as food for our good gut bacteria! Some other types of fibre are broken down to a lesser extent and instead bind water, which increases the volume of stools and is thus good for the functioning of the intestines. Good Gut Feeling Fibre Complex contains fibre from three different sources.

Psyllium seed husk

consists of 80-85% water-soluble and gel-forming fibres that keep the stomach in shape by contributing to regular bowel movements and preventing indigestion. They also contribute to normal digestion and bowel function.

Oat fibre helps to increase the volume of intestinal contents, which keeps the stomach in shape.

Beta-glucans

is a specific type of fibre found in oats that lowers blood cholesterol levels. Elevated blood cholesterol levels are a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Resistant starch

is a form of starch that is not broken down by the body but acts as a dietary fibre. The resistant starch in Fiber Complex comes from potatoes.

Should you eat Fiber complex as a cure or continuously?

-You can eat Fiber Complex as needed or every day as a source of fiber and to keep your stomach going.

Why do you recommend using a shaker?

-The powder can clump if you just stir with a spoon in a glass, with a shaker it mixes perfectly.

Does Fiber Complex also help with loose stomach?

-Fiber complex contains psyllium seed husk which has the ability to bind liquid, making the stool soft, like a gel. If you have a hard stomach, this speeds up the passage through the intestines and if you have a loose stomach, the increased viscosity slows everything down instead. So yes, Fiber complex is good for both hard and loose stomach.
