You can plug up, because fiber cleans out your intestines. Fiber acts as well a cleaning tool if you will. Also, you might find that your going to the bathroom more often.
You NEED to balance it with liquid intake (i.e. lots of water) and everything will "work itself out in the end". (Sorry. A gremlin made me say it.)
Seriously 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 poo more, and more often.
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.)
Also, 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.)
Think 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.
Go 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!

∙ 15y agoToo much insoluble fiber can result in physical entanglement in the gastrointestinal tract. This can cause a physical blockage that can prevent defecation and result in an emergency situation. On the other hand, too much soluble fiber could cause gas or diarrhea.
One is generally not likely to consume too much fiber. Most Americans get only 12-15 grams per day and the recommended amount of fiber per day is 30 grams. If in doubt, measure your portions or talk to a health care professional.
