Core Tip	This comprehensive review evaluates available data on the effects of intact cereal dietary fiber on bowel function and provides a quantitative summary of the effect of intact wheat fiber on bowel function using weighted regression analysis. Insufficient observations were available from non-wheat cereals for quantitative analysis. Results found an increase in total stool weight of 3.7 ± 0.09 g per gram intact wheat fiber. Transit time decreased by approximately 45 min per gram intact wheat fiber when initial transit time was greater than 48 h. Therefore, intact wheat dietary fiber, predominantly from wheat bran, improves bowel function.
