Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, as it is popularly referred to, has many symptoms that disrupt the regularity and the easiness of bowel movements. The symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, belching, constipation, and diarrhea. IBS cases arise due to a busy everyday schedule where most people have to resort to packaged foods.
Watching closely and carefully what you eat is as important as maintaining a regular eating habit. Here are three natural and high fiber snacks that you can include in your daily diet.

1. Carrot, celery, and cucumber sticks with celery dip
Carrots, cucumbers, and celery are excellent anti-inflammatory foods that contain high soluble fiber. Combined with herbal paprika dip, you have the healthiest snack. Carrots, cucumbers, and celery are hassle-free to carry around all day. Moreover, each ingredient enhances gut health. You need Greek yogurt, mint, parsley, smoked paprika, lemon zest, and pepper. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until the ingredients blend together. Then store the dip in an air-tight container and refrigerate. This dip can last for up to a week.

2. High fiber flax seed crackers
Flaxseeds are excellent foods for constipation as they retain water, allowing regular bowel movements. Flaxseed bars can be carried wherever you travel and can come in quite handy during busy hours at work. To make this, you need ground flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, salt, and water. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl, cover the bowl with tin foil or baking paper, and leave the dough to rest for about thirty minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade. After thirty minutes, spread the mixture on a baking tray covered with baking paper. To spread the mixture evenly, use a dough roller or any flat surface that can do the trick. Bake the mixture for about 15 to 25 minutes at 180 degrees centigrade. Once done, remove the tray from the oven and carefully remove the seed cracker from the tray. Make small pieces that look like energy bars and store them away for up to a week.

3. Beetroot smoothie
The perfect smoothie that clears the bowels like no other. Beetroots contain healthy, rich antioxidants and high soluble fiber. Beetroots also retain water and lubricate the inner walls of the bowels, ensuring prevention from constipation and diarrhea. Moreover, its ingredients such as cinnamon, apples, bananas, and walnuts also contain high fiber, making it the best combination for a wholesome, high fiber meal. To make this, you need beetroot, apple, banana, walnuts, palm dates, honey, coconut milk, and water. Blend all ingredients together in a blender until the mixture turns smooth. Add water to make it smoother or thinner.
