Is too much fibre bad for you?!


Question: Is too much fibre bad for you!?
I eat LOADS of fruits and vegetables a day, I mean like 10-16!. good for your health and everything!. I also prefer fruit over fruit juices because the fruit has better stuff in it like pulp and seeds!. Its also more filling!. My questions is, since I'm having like 200% of my daily requirement, will anything bad happen besides diarrhea!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
No - but a lot of people make the mistake of suddenly increasing their fibre intake without increasing their water intake!. This means that the fibre bulks in their stomach and they end up bloated, in pain (sometimes with gas), and seriously constipated!.

the right way, a fibre rich diet is very good for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

make sure you drink enough water!.!.!.!.if you are eating a lot of bran and other insoluble fibre you need to water to help it move through your system!.!.!.!.or else it could actually dehydrate you and make you constipated

diarrhea is not good!.!.!.!.that can dehydrate you and cause hemrhoids

too much vitamin C causes a "vitamin C flush" and gives you diarrhea as well!.!.!.

high acidity in fruits and veggies can make you break out or change your skin tone


even though fruits and veggies are good!.!.!.!.eat them in moderation!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetables are good for the body!. Fiber will fill you up and clean you out!. So eat several servings of fiber throughout the day to keep your body fueled with energy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can have bad gas!. but with the diarrhea comes other complications like strain on the kidneys which is very painful, and a vast loss of water, leading to dehydration, being delirious, and feeling dizzyWww@FoodAQ@Com
