This is such a stupidly simple way to boost your fibre intake

As an IBS dietitian, I love psyllium husk because it’s a gel-forming soluble fibre that can:

→ relieve constipation by adding bulk and softness to stools
→ firm up loose stools by absorbing excess liquid and reducing frequency of diarrhoea
→ lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar control

But the truth is, plain psyllium is kind of like eating sawdust 😅

So if you’ve been wanting to up your fibre intake but don’t know where to start - PLEASE try this!

This genius idea was inspired by & it’s now a regular in my house

For a single serve you need:
75mL cranberry juice
1 heaped tsp psyllium husk

Shake it up and pop it in the fridge. After 5-10 minutes, check the consistency and add extra liquid or psyllium as needed

🚨 a few things to know before you start:

→ go slow, start with just 1 tbsp on a slice of toast or in yoghurt
→ on regular medications? Take psyllium at least 2 hours before or after, so it doesn’t affect absorption
→ drink plenty of water throughout the day - fibre only works well when it’s paired with enough fluid

Rice paper can have a day off once you try these

If you loved the sweet version of the viral rice paper crepes, you need to try the savoury one

This version is filled with cottage cheese, mozzarella, spinach, spring onion and lemon zest, with a little chilli for a bonus kick. It’s crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy in the middle, and finished with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

You’ll need:

2 sheets rice paper
1 egg
100g lactose-free cottage cheese
10g mozzarella
30g spinach, wilted
1 spring onion, green tops only
Zest of ½ lemon
Salt, pepper + chilli flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, to finish

Mix the cottage cheese, mozzarella, spinach, spring onion, lemon zest and seasonings together

Whisk the egg on a large plate. Dip one sheet of rice paper into the egg, coating both sides, then place into a lightly greased non-stick pan over medium heat

Add the filling, leaving a small border around the edges. Dip the second rice paper sheet into the egg and place it on top, gently pressing around the edges to seal

Cook for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy underneath, then carefully flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden on both sides

Finish with a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and slice while warm

Save this for later

And here’s the part that gets me: rates in people under 50 have been climbing steadily, while every other major cancer death rate (breast, lung, leukaemia) has been going DOWN. Colorectal cancer is the only one going the wrong way

The scary bit? Nearly 3 in 4 people under 50 are diagnosed at an advanced stage - often because symptoms like bleeding get written off as haemorrhoids, or bloating gets blamed on IBS or ‘just stress’

So if something’s changed with your bowel habits and it’s stuck around for a few weeks, please get it checked with your doctor, don’t wait it out

Now - what can you actually control? Diet is one of the levers we DO have some say over, and fibre is one of the most protective things you can eat more of. Here’s my fave high fibre, low FODMAP foods suitable for IBS

1 banana = 3.1g
1 kiwi = 4.2g
2 tbsp chia = 9.6g
75g cannellini beans = 4g
1 cup quinoa = 4g
75g edamame = 3.7g
60g raspberries = 3.9g
50g oats = 3.4g
1 orange = 3.1g
75g carrot = 2.6g
120g pineapple = 2.3g
75g green beans = 2.2g
15 walnuts = 2g
10 almonds = 1.5g
75g broccoli = 1.9g
65g tomato = 0.7g

(Save this for later)

If you’re new to fibre, go slow! Aim for +2-3g every few days rather than overhauling everything at once

Chew well, and make sure you’re drinking enough water - fibre needs fluid to actually do its job, otherwise it can make things worse, not better

This isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness - most colorectal cancer is preventable and highly treatable when caught early. Know your body, know your normal, and don’t dismiss changes just because you’re young
