Fiber can cause diarrhea when consumed in excessive amounts or when the body is not accustomed to a high-fiber diet. Soluble fiber absorbs water, which can lead to loose stools if intake is too high. Additionally, certain types of fiber, particularly insoluble fiber, can speed up intestinal transit time, resulting in diarrhea. It's important to increase fiber intake gradually and ensure adequate hydration to minimize digestive issues.
