The description says added fiber can worsen constipation and bloating in people with weak intestinal motility. [1]

Fiber as possible traffic jam in weak motility
According to the description, adding dietary fiber can worsen constipation and bloating in individuals with weak intestinal motility. The stated reason is that added bulk creates intestinal "traffic jams" and trapped fermentation gas. This is a general statement in the description, not a reported measurement from a named study. [1]
Six-month zero-fiber report and fiber types
The description cites a 6-month study in which completely stopping dietary fiber intake improved bowel movement frequency from once every 4 days to once daily and eliminated bloating and straining in 100% of zero-fiber participants. It also says soluble fiber such as psyllium is generally better tolerated than insoluble fiber such as wheat bran, though concentrated fiber supplements can still trigger bloating. No sample size, design details or full text are given. [1]
Kiwi ranking and self-testing advice in description
The description states that clinical trials rank eating two green kiwis daily as the most effective and safest food-based approach to relieve constipation and bloating without adverse side effects. It also advises people struggling with constipation to self-test whether adding or reducing fiber improves their condition, while considering hydration, magnesium and healthy fat intake. The description does not name the trials, their comparators or their outcomes in detail. [1]
