The amount of fibre also includes inulin fibre: inulin is an excellent soluble dietary fibre that promotes digestive health and stimulates the production of beneficial bacteria in the colon. While you increase your fiber intake, you should drink enough fluid in order to maintain adequate hydration the body.

Only take care of the recommended daily fibre intake for children.
