If you ease into a high fiber diet, you will avoid a lot of the problems people would associate with "too much" fiber. And also, drink a lot of water :] The thing about fiber, is that most of the bad benefits you are going to come across are not a result of the amount of fiber you are eating – the negative effects like gas or bloating are a result of going from a low fiber diet to a high fiber diet very rapidly.

But now I have a concern...I have been having issues with going to the bathroom and so my mother bought me some Fiber pills along with some stool softener, and so I have been taking 5 pills of fiber as stated for my age, and 1 stool softener a day for the past maybe a week or so and the past 2 days I didn't take them until tonight I took just the fiber pills and now the past maybe couple days I am having issues...I have a sore bottom along with what looks almost like diper rash (and no I do not wear dipers obvi) and it seems as though I am having a leaking problem kind of...I do know that I am going to be taking a break from taking the fiber and stool softener for a while but should I be concerned or should I just lay off and calm down? please someone help bc I am so nervous right now....thank you so much.

I'm suspicious of fiber. It has bad effects in large amounts, which I've experienced. But why should I assume it's good in smaller amounts? Why aren't smaller amounts simply less bad? It's like corn. Intuitively you can tell that it's bad. It passes through you——fast. And it stays intact on the way through. That doesn't sound good for nutrient absorption to me. Fiber is the same. Good post.
