  1. Gastrointestinal Conditions: A low-fiber diet may be recommended for individuals with certain gastrointestinal conditions, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, or bowel obstruction. By reducing the amount of fiber in the diet, it can help alleviate symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. In conditions like diverticulitis, a low-fiber diet may be prescribed during acute flare-ups to reduce bowel movements and allow the inflamed areas of the colon to heal.

  2. Postoperative Recovery: After certain types of gastrointestinal surgery, such as bowel resection or abdominal surgery, healthcare providers may recommend a low-fiber diet during the recovery period to reduce strain on the digestive system and promote healing. A low-fiber diet may help minimize the risk of complications such as bowel obstruction or irritation at the surgical site.

  3. Short-Term Relief of Digestive Symptoms: In some cases, individuals with digestive issues such as diarrhea, bloating, or abdominal discomfort may benefit from temporarily reducing their fiber intake to provide relief from symptoms. For example, a low-fiber diet may be recommended for individuals experiencing acute gastrointestinal distress or after a bout of food poisoning to allow the gut to rest and recover.

  4. Management of Gastroparesis: Gastroparesis is a condition characterized by delayed emptying of the stomach, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and early satiety. In some cases, a low-fiber diet may be recommended as part of the management plan to reduce the workload on the digestive system and alleviate symptoms.

  5. Decreased Bowel Movements: Since fiber adds bulk to the stool and promotes regular bowel movements, reducing fiber intake can lead to decreased frequency and volume of bowel movements. While this may be beneficial for individuals with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) or fecal incontinence, it can also increase the risk of constipation in others, particularly if fluid intake is inadequate.

  6. Nutrient Intake: One potential drawback of a low-fiber diet is that it may be lower in certain essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, that are found in fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Therefore, individuals following a low-fiber diet should be mindful of meeting their nutritional needs through other food sources or dietary supplements.

  7. Gut Microbiota: Fiber serves as a prebiotic, providing fuel for beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiota. Limiting fiber intake may alter the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota, which could have implications for digestive health, immune function, and overall well-being.

Bacteria Impacted by restricted-fiber diet {low fiber diet}

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of restricted-fiber diet {low fiber diet} on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
