1. Bloating
Consuming the right amount of fiber should keep your bowels moving, so if your stomach is bloated, then you’re probably getting too much.
2. Going to the bathroom too often
Is fiber supposed to keep you regular? Absolutely, but if you’re making multiple trips to the bathroom, then it’s time to cut back. Diarrhea can be another sign that you’re overdoing it with the fiber.
3. Constipation
When increasing your fiber intake, it’s best to do so gradually. If not, you can become constipated, which can be just as unpleasant as diarrhea. Also, don’t eat too much fiber in one sitting and be sure drink enough water throughout the day.
