Low residue or fiber deficient diets have been implicated in the etiology of numerous disorders, (1) from colonic neoplasms to dental caries, from varicose veins to atheroma and ischemic heart disease.(2, 3) Although wheat bran is the most commonly mentioned source of dietary fiber, there are many other sources available.What is fiber and what is its importance? Is it merely another fad? Previously irritable bowel syndrome and diverticular disease were treated with a low residue diet-has the change to a high fiber diet been justified? Only recently has methodology effectively separated crude fiber from dietary fiber. Few, and often conflicting, clinical trials are available for management guidance.
低渣或纤维缺乏饮食与许多疾病的病因有关，（1）从结肠肿瘤到龋齿，从静脉曲张到动脉粥样硬化和缺血性心脏病。（2、3）虽然麦麸是最常提到的膳食纤维来源，但还有许多其他来源。什么是纤维，它的重要性是什么？它仅仅是另一种时尚吗？以前，肠易激综合征和憩室病采用低渣饮食治疗 - 改为高纤维饮食是否合理？直到最近，方法学才有效地将粗纤维与膳食纤维分开。可用于管理指导的临床试验很少，而且往往相互矛盾。
