Yes, fibre does help with preventing constipation and making healthier bowel movements. Fibre can be found in many fruits and vegetables. Some of the best foods to eat if you are experiencing constipation are Prunes, figs, papaya, beans, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and whole grain breads and cereals. Fibre supplements are also available from supermarkets and health food stores. Soluble fibre will help soften the stool. Should constipation last for an extended period of time or become painful, you may require a laxative.

Yes, but not as a magic bullet for immediate issues. If you are currently severely constipated and need to have a bowel movement, try a natural cure such as Prune Juice, prunes, or apricots. Over the counter remedies will work, too, but can take a little longer. In general, though, increasing fiber intake along with increased water intake will help improve over all regularity and ease of bowel movements. Don't increase too much too quickly, though, or you'll have a lot of gas and stomach bloating. Try increasing fiber by 10 grams a day for a week, then by another 10 for another week. 25-30 grams a day are recommended for good health. Drink 64 ounces of water per day; more if you drink a lot of coffee, soda, or alcohol.

Yes, consuming enough fiber can assist you in losing weight.

Foods containing fiber absorb water in the stomach, and are slower to digest; this can result in you feeling fuller, longer, which reduces cravings and makes it easier for you to stick to your weight loss plan.

Fiber can also assist in expelling waste product from your digestive system, which can kick-start your apparent weight loss, helping to motivate you to stay on track.

Yes. Fecal matter contains indigestible fiber. That is how it helps you to stay regular. Fiber acts like tiny sponges and holds liquid, thus making it easier to pass feces.
