Rice fiber is an insoluble plant fiber pulled from the outer bran layer of rice grains. It holds water in the gut, creating softer and bulkier waste that moves along more easily.
Mix a serving into water, juice, or a smoothie and take it with a meal or right after. The added liquid helps it work properly and keeps things moving.
Without enough water this fiber can clump up in the throat or intestine. Start with a small amount and increase slowly. You might notice some gas or bloating while your stomach gets used to it. Never take rice fiber with insufficient fluid.
