I take Jarrow Prebiotic Inulin FOS prebiotic fiber, one serving (about 3.8 grams/scoop which is similar to 1 rounded teaspoon), and it seems to be easy to take. I consume other fiber also. The Jarrow is cheaper at iHerb.

Fiber is essentially cellulose, a polysaccharide and the most prevalent on earth, second is N-acetylglucosamine, chitin, found primarily in fungi and crustaceans among others. The recommended daily intake by our overlords in the government is around 30 grams. When we had a plant base diet with no processed foods, people consumed more than 50 grams per day--thanks to the legumes and whole grains they consumed.
My dinner tonight: bulgur with garlic, onions and chick peas, grilled chicken, and toasted sourdough bread, blackberries for desert. Total fiber is well over 40 grams. Consider how well your intestines are by your stools. Sad to say we have become a nation of wimps.

I have asked the following question to several doctors and none have given a good answer: If non-digestible fiber is good for you, then why don't they put saw dust in bread, e.g. saw dust from maple trees. You get more non-digestible fiber, fewer calories and create a new industry.
I've tasted saw dust from maple trees and it doesn't really have a taste. But if it does after cooking then it will probably give a maply syrup type taste. A win for everyone.
