Fiber means eating legumes, whole grains, whole fruits, vegetables and leafy greens. Maybe you can sprinkle in some extra seeds and Psyllium husks.
It's fine if it it's added to processed products, but it won't be enough compared to what you need at a minimum.
I mean, it could be popular, but it would take a lot of promotion and there's no really "Big Industry" behind it that has much to gain, like there is behind animal foods, fast foods, junk foods and "health foods."
Most of the "miracle nutrient" marketing is based, as is typical in capitalism, on selling something scarce. Even if we're talking about whole plants, they try to sell you on exotic stuff that's scarce and expensive. Meanwhile... your average cabbage and apple are insanely healthful. When's the last time you saw an ad for cabbage?
34 g per day is a good start. The recommendations for the minimums are generally mediocre and should be heavily increased. Aim for 100 g/day, but not tomorrow... it needs to be a slow step, maybe +1 per week.
You seem to have found something rare if it's true.
The carbsmart tortillas are extremely common and can be found in any major grocer. There are a ton of groceries that are fortified with fiber, including breads and other grain-based products.
100g of fiber a day sounds insane and I don’t feel like shitting my pants everyday when the daily intake for a grown woman is ~25g.
I have no idea where you’re getting your information from but it sounds like weird TikTok health-influencer stuff. I’ll continue to do as my doctor recommends.
Interesting ingredients. I don't have anything against cellulose, but let's say that it could be better.
The 25g you mentioned are the minimum, not the goal. Your doctor probably has low expectations or a poor nutrition education (unfortunately, very common.) Yes, in the US, most (average) are way under the minimum.

No, that means eating plants.
