You will want to use common sense, however, as eating large amounts of cabbage and other roughage after a diet consisting of refined foods can cause considerable intestinal discomfort.
Be sure to drink extra water to accompany your high fiber menus, or the extra roughage will have trouble passing through the digestive tract.
Fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, occurs naturally in fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes.
Bean straw is sometimes given as part of the roughage in Scotland, but not in England.
