Are you getting enough fibre?

Most adults need around 25–30g of fibre each day, while for kids a simple guide is their age + 10g. Fibre plays an important role in gut health, digestion, regular bowel movements, stable energy levels and keeping us fuller for longer.

And some foods contain more fibre than you might think 👀
🥝 2 kiwi fruit = around 5g of fibre!

Other great fibre foods include:
🌾 Wholegrains
🫘 Beans & legumes
🥜 Nuts & seeds
🍎 Fruit & vegetables

💡 Small changes like swapping to wholegrain bread, adding legumes to meals or including more fruit can make a big difference for your gut health.

There are also some fibre supplements we may consider in certain situations, however we always aim for a food first approach where possible.

A low residue diet (also known as a low fibre diet) is often used during inflammatory bowel disease flares, for recovery after bowel surgery or when your gut feels more sensitive. It focuses on reducing fibre and certain foods that can increase bowel movements, irritation or discomfort.

This looks like choosing options that are easy to digest and lower in fibre. It is not meant for long-term use, but rather as a tool to help your gut settle before you gradually reintroduce fibre and variety again.

So how can you best adopt a low-residue diet
- Avoid wholegrain, high fibre breads and cereals - use white varieties where possible
- Remove stalks, stems, pips, seeds and skins from fruit and vegetables
- Avoid dried fruits, nuts and seeds
- Strain pulp from fruit/vegetable juices and soups
- Check the nutrition label on packaged foods - aim for fibre to be less than 3g per 100g

Save this post to help you understand which foods to focus on and avoid when on a low-residue diet!!

Food allergies and food intolerances are often used interchangeably, but they’re actually very different

A food allergy involves the immune system and can cause rapid, sometimes even severe reactions to certain foods.

A food intolerance, on the other hand, is more related to digestion. It can still be uncomfortable (think bloating, gas, stomach pain), but it’s not life-threatening and often depends on how much you’ve eaten.

Understanding the difference matters. Not every reaction to food means you need to cut it out completely, and not every symptom should be ignored.

If food is making you feel “off,” getting the right support from a dietitian can help you figure out what’s actually going on, without that unnecessary restriction.

Nutrition labels can feel overwhelming, but once you know what to look for, they become a tool you can use to inform your nutrition choices.

A few quick tips:

Use the per 100g column to compare two different products

Keep an eye on sugar, saturated fat and sodium (salt)

Choose high fibre grain products to promote satiety and good gut health!

Keep in mind the bigger picture - no product will tick all the boxes perfectly. Focus on what matters for you and your long term health goals

Nutritionist vs Dietitian… what’s the difference? 👀

Here’s a quick breakdown ⬇️

👩‍⚕️ Dietitian
✔️ University-qualified (Accredited Practising Dietitian)
✔️ Regulated profession in Australia
✔️ Can provide medical nutrition therapy (e.g. chronic conditions, NDIS supports)
✔️ Evidence-based, clinical expertise

🥗 Nutritionist

✔️ Focus on general health, wellbeing & lifestyle advice
✔️ Not qualified to treat medical conditions

Knowing the difference helps you choose the right support for your needs 💚
