I know high fiber foods is a large part of it, but is there anything else to it?

    I think it’s more likely to accelerate digestion and it can give you the runs, not 100% sure on that explanation though

      Basically this. Increased gut motility from inflammation reduces the time spent extracting water from your stool, which is exactly counterproductive to the OP’s question.

          Many things increase gut motility. Barbiturates are a famous example of the opposite effect.
