Wheat bran is mostly used to treat and prevent constipation because it provides 6 g of dietary fiber per quarter cup. Wheat bran is primarily insoluble fiber, which helps provide bulk to your stool and can help you pass stool faster. Unlike soluble fiber, wheat bran does not absorb water during digestion but instead remains undigested, helping to move the stool along the digestive wall faster.
Without enough water in your digestive system, your stool can become hard and difficult to pass, even with the use of wheat bran. Wheat bran supplements are intended to be consumed with an 8-oz. glass of water to prevent chocking. Wheat bran can expand in your throat and digestive tract, leading to constipation.
