Foods high in fiber include: whole-grain cereals, such as bran flakes, shredded wheat, oatmeal, and pearl barley; whole-grain crackers and bread products, such as those made with stone-ground wheat; brown rice; blackberries; pears; prunes; raisins; and beans, lentils, and peas.

Most fruits and vegetables (especially if you eat them with the peel) have ample amounts of fiber. Read the nutrition labels on processed foods to determine the amount available.
