Is it possible to take in too much fiber on a diet????

Question

Answer 1

Generally no unless you take too much before your body is used to it, then you would have diarrhea and stomach cramp. But if you build up you will be fine. Are you constipated at the moment, is that why you are taking a lot of fiber? If so, increase the amount of fluid you drink at the same time and do some exercise to move your bowels more frequently.

Answer 2

well it is not likely a problem, but i do not know what you are taking and how much you say is too much.  Fiber in our system is more important when it comes from natural foods than from a source like benefiber.
