What happens if you eat too much fiber, too fast?

You NEED to balance it with liquid intake (i.e. lots of water) and everything will "work itself out in the end".  \n(Sorry. A gremlin made me say it.)\n\nSeriously though...best to increase your fibre intake gradually, balance it with ample liquid intake, try Beano if you get too much gas, and expect to poop more, and more often.\n\n\nWHOA - just read the other answers.  People are talking like increasing your fibre is a bad thing to do!  It's not.  It's actually highly recommended for almost everyone.  Just be reasonable in how fast you do it, how much, and how much water you balance it with (most fibre-only products like Metamucil will recommend a minimum amount or water to take immediately with it.)\n\nAlso, be aware that there are different kinds of fibre - soluble and nonsoluble.  You need both.  Most people don't get enough soluble fibre, even if they get enough non-soluble.  (The difference in solubility is whether over time the fibre would dissolve in water.  Oat fibre is soluble.  I think wheat bran is non-soluble but I might be off on that one.)\n\nThink of it this way:  Non-soluble fibre gently rubs or lightly scrapes your intestine walls to keep them clean from gunky buildup, whereas soluble fibre absorbs more toxins and whatnot and expells them from your system. \n\nGo forth and consume fibre with good knowledge and understanding, and be ye healthy.  And yea, shall your days be many in the land of the living!

Ate something wrong? Heck no, its plant pigment & fiber in your diet. It happens when you are eating large amount of greenish plants.\n\nIts harmless. I occasionally have it since I'm a vegan.

If you eat too much of these, yes, to be sure.\n\nHowever, if you eat them in moderation, and mix in vegetables, and some exercise, you should be just fine.

It really depends on the physical fitness of the person and what they ate yesterday.  People who eat good fiber and don't overeat generally have better tasting cum.\n\nThere have been a lot of studies about and talk sex Sue has information on it too.

It depends on the person. If you feel uncomfortable and bloated, you may be constipated and getting more fiber in your diet may help.\n\nFor most people, once a day is the norm.  Some more, some less.  The best thing is to think back to the last time you felt "normal" and try to remember how often you went then. If you're going less now, then add fiber - in the form of fresh fruits, raw vegetables and whole grains - to your diet.\n\nActually, that would be good for anyone, whether they're constipated or not!

it all depends on what kind of sugar.  Sucrose, fructose, lactose, glucose, and what other ones you can think of all digest at different speeds.  I don't know what they are.  I've heard that high fructose corn syrup is hard to digest (and by the way, that's in lots of candy and soda and stuff).

Fruits and veggies will kill you (not literally, but you'll feel like dying) if you have to avoid fiber.  I have the same problem so i know what I'm talking about.\n\nIf you are having a hard time digesting food and have a lot of pain, try full liquids for a few days for some gut rest.  Tomato soup, cream of potato, milkshakes, smoothies all should be OK.  If you have a food processor, you can puree your fruits to make them digestible, avoid fruits with seeds like raspberries.\n\nFor a regular diet, I suggest lean fish and chicken, pasta, cooked potatoes, mac and cheese, V8 juice, etc.  until your digestive system stabilizes.\n\nDo exactly what you doctor says.  Treatments are available for these types of diseases, but you have to allow time for the meds to work.  If you have further questions, email me anytime.

Fructose, the sugar in fruit, will be the first to burn.  An orange is enough.  If you overeat fruit, you will gain weight and get diarrhea.

if you eat slower the body can relay the full signal to the brain before a person overstuffs themselves. Eat too fast and you can overstuff yourself before the brain gets the full signal.

The following foods are good sources of fiber: \n\nWhole grains (bran has the highest fiber content); this includes breads and cereals, whole-grain pastas, and brown rice\n\nNuts and seeds\n\nLegumes (such as dried peas, beans, lentils)\n\nFruits\n\nVegetables\n\nA dietary supplement of fiber products such as Citrucel or Metamucil, which are mixed with water and provide about 4 to 6 grams of fiber in each 8-ounce glass\nWhy should I eat more fiber?\nFoods that are high in fiber can help in the treatment of constipation, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome. Dietary fiber may also help lower your cholesterol, and reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer.\n\n\nHow can I get more fiber in my diet?\nTry the following ideas to increase the fiber in your diet:\n\nEat at least 4 1/2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day. Fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber include:\n\nApples\nBerries\nFigs Oranges\nPears\nPrunes Broccoli\nBrussels sprouts\nCarrots Cauliflower\nGreen peas\nBeans \n\nReplace white bread with whole-grain breads and cereals. Eat brown rice instead of white rice. Eat more of the following foods:\n\nBran muffins\nBrown rice Oatmeal\nPopcorn Multiple-grain cereals, cooked or dry\n100% Whole-wheat bread \n\nEat bran cereal for breakfast. Check labels on the packages for the amounts of dietary fiber in each brand. Some cereals may have less fiber than you think.\n\nAdd 1/4 cup of wheat bran (miller's bran) to foods such as cooked cereal or applesauce or meat loaf.\n\nEat cooked beans each week\nStart slowly.\nWhen you first add fiber to your diet you may notice bloating, cramping or gas. But you can prevent this by making small changes in your diet over a period of time. Start with one of the changes listed above, then wait several days to a week before making another. If one change doesn't seem to work for you, try a different one.\n\nBe sure to drink more fluids when you increase the amount of fiber you eat. Liquids help your body digest fiber better. Try to drink 8 glasses of no- or low-calorie beverages, such as water, unsweetened tea or diet soda each day.

No, fiber will not cause a weight gain. Fiber regulates the level of blood sugar, which may help in weight loss. It also regulates your bowel movement. The daily norm of fiber for 2000 cal diet is 25 grams a day. \nI hope this info helps:)

I read somewhere that swallowing gum is just adding fiber to your diet. So...I would say go ahead and swallow it.

Fast. Do not eat tuna for 160 days, this includes Albacore. That's what it says to do in the book "Grieving: How to Deal with Tuna Net Disasters"
