The Fiber Five™ System: Your Complete Guide to Gut Health Without the Bloat

If you've been told to "eat more fiber" but have no idea where to start—or worse, you tried and ended up bloated and miserable—this guide is for you. You know fiber matters for gut health, regular bowel movements, and even lowering cholesterol, but most advice stops at "eat more vegetables" and leaves you confused about portions, which foods actually work, and how to hit 25–35 grams a day without living on salad. Inside, you'll get the exact framework I use with my 1:1 IBS and IBD clients: the Fiber Five™ groups (whole grains, fruits, veggies, nuts/seeds, beans/legumes) broken down by fiber type, calorie density, and real-world swaps. You'll learn which fibers help constipation vs. which feed your gut bacteria, how to layer fiber into every meal without cooking separate "health food," and how to troubleshoot gas and bloating as you increase intake. No bland recipes, no restrictive rules—just strategic, delicious eating that actually moves the needle. I'm Gabrielle, a registered dietitian and self-proclaimed fiber freak who's spent years testing high-fiber hacks (savory oats with eggs, dense bean salads, cook-and-cool potatoes) so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. This isn't theory—it's the same step-by-step system I use to help people go from 10 grams of fiber a day to 30+ without the digestive chaos. If you're ready to stop guessing and start feeling lighter, more regular, and actually confident in your food choices, let's do this.
