Too much fibre may cause diarrhea, and make it difficult to eat a full 2700 calories a day because of satiety!. As long as you ease yourself into it though, it should be ok!. I've been eating over 80 grams of fibre for the better part of a year and have seen little to no complications!. Just three weeks ago I was eating 150 grams a day!. Sure, I was regular (five times a day) and completely stuffed all of the time, but it didn't hurt me!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
My dad eats those Fiber One bars all the time and he is the gassiest person I know!. I think fiber can make you gassy, but I'm not 100% sure because I only witnessed this in one person!. Other than that, he doesn't have any real health problems, so I don't think you can get too much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
