too much fiber?

can you eat too much fiber?  i have added a lot to my diet in the past week and i feel soooo sick to my stomach today.  really, really, really bad cramping.  ugh.

I'm so glad you asked this question!  I have IBS (figured this out the hard way about 2 years ago).  In an effort to get myself feeling better for an upcoming wedding, i recently got back intot he routine of taking a fiber drink before breakfast and lunch.  As silly as this sounds, adding this extra "help" to my diet took me from looking like a normal/athletic build to looking about 6 months pregnant and feeling VERY uncomfortable.

Another person commented on here about the discomfort lasting more than 2 days is not normal, however I was uncomfortable for over a week until I stopped using the additional fiber for a few days.  I was then able to start with a smaller dose of fiber and feel MUCH better now.

And I too was happily surprised by how good the fiber one products are!
