What percentage of Americans consume the recommended daily amount of fiber?
CORRECT!
Answer: Intestines
Diarrhea and constipation typically occur within the intestine. An impairment to the lining or changes in the levels of beneficial bacteria there may result in food moving through too fast or slow. This can lead to occasional digestive symptoms, such as diarrhea, constipation, or both, according to research. In contrast, acid reflux, another common issue, happens in the stomach and esophagus.

The recommended daily fiber intake is 25 grams per day for adult women under 50 and 38 grams per day for adult men under 50.
