Recent experimental studies show that neither increased dietary fiber nor its absence alters the numbers and major groups of fecal bacteria. Although the total number of bacteria per gram of feces remains constant, the daily fecal mass doubles with added dietary fiber and is halved in its absence. Thus, the total output of fecal bacteria is related to dietary fiber.
