Fiber has been gaining traction recently on social media. You may have seen the recent trend of "fibermaxxing" which is when people focus on meeting or even exceeding the recommended daily fiber intake. While many people may not hit the daily target recommendations, it is also important to note that exceeding the recommendation is not necessary or even recommended. Having too much fiber or increasing fiber consumption too quickly can actually cause digestive upset and undesirable effects such as diarrhea, bloating and gas.
