Ground Flax Seed to Increase Fiber Question E-mails to Christine (GlucoMenu® Nutrition Director) Christine is a Registered Dietitian & Certified Diabetes Educator E-mail your questions to Christine at:  nutrition@GlucoMenu.com Q. What do you think of ground flax seed to enhance the fiber in my diet?  I was told that it would help with my constipation too. A. Why not just adopt a diet that is high in fiber?  Focusing on a variety of high fiber foods will offer the benefit of additional vitamins and minerals as well. The ground flax seeds we have encountered contain 4 grams of fiber per ounce but also contain 14 grams of fat. You should talk with your doctor or dietitian about what type of foods to include in your diet to increase fiber and alleviate constipation. Most people should strive to consume 25-35 grams of dietary fiber each day.
