But why then is <strong>dietary fibre<\/strong> so important &#8211; especially for digestion? Dietary fibres are of great importance for the normal function of digestion. They regulate the transport of food through the intestines: in the case of constipation, they increase the stool volume and soften the stool so that it can be excreted more easily. In the case of diarrhoea, on the other hand, dietary fibres can thicken the liquid stool due to their strong swelling properties.\u00a0<\/p><p>However, dietary fibres are of far greater importance specifically for our intestinal bacteria: Specific dietary fibres (such as corn dextrin and guar gum) serve as the basis of life for our little &#8220;helpers&#8221;. Too little dietary fibre leads to many of our intestinal bacteria <strong>starving<\/strong> to death. As a result, they can no longer perform their tasks, such as absorbing important nutrients from food, <strong>excreting toxins<\/strong> and germs that enter our intestines with some foods, and powering our immune system, 80% of whose cells are located in the intestines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32cf749 obcs none e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"32cf749\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;waves&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;waves&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M421.9,6.5c22.6-2.5,51.5,0.4,75.5,5.3c23.6,4.9,70.9,23.5,100.5,35.7c75.8,32.2,133.7,44.5,192.6,49.7\n\tc23.6,2.1,48.7,3.5,103.4-2.5c54.7-6,106.2-25.6,106.2-25.6V0H0v30.3c0,0,72,32.6,158.4,30.5c39.2-0.7,92.8-6.7,134-22.4\n\tc21.2-8.1,52.2-18.2,79.7-24.2C399.3,7.9,411.6,7.5,421.9,6.5z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-bottom\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M421.9,6.5c22.6-2.5,51.5,0.4,75.5,5.3c23.6,4.9,70.9,23.5,100.5,35.7c75.8,32.2,133.7,44.5,192.6,49.7\n\tc23.6,2.1,48.7,3.5,103.4-2.5c54.7-6,106.2-25.6,106.2-25.6V0H0v30.3c0,0,72,32.6,158.4,30.5c39.2-0.7,92.8-6.7,134-22.4\n\tc21.2-8.1,52.2-18.2,79.7-24.2C399.3,7.9,411.6,7.5,421.9,6.5z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-907f41e elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"907f41e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Problems with your gut health?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cfa69f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5cfa69f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Irritable bowel syndrome, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, diarrhoea, constipation, and bloating are the most common complaints in and originating from the gut.<br \/>But how exactly can these be diagnosed?<br \/>What are the symptoms?
