What will be an ideal response?
Fiber plays an important role in bowel health. A diet that is low in fiber and/or water leads to small, hard stools. This condition is known as constipation.
If excessive straining occurs during defecation, the anal veins can swell, causing hemorrhoids.
Lots of pressure in the colon caused by excessive straining during defecation can cause small pouches called diverticula to protrude through the large intestine wall.
When these pouches are inflamed and painful, the condition is known as diverticulitis. During periods of inflammation, a low-fiber diet is indicated.
If pouches in the large intestine exist without painful symptoms, the condition is known as diverticulosis. In this case, a high-fiber diet can ease stool elimination and prevent future attacks.
