A member asked:
Does having more than 25 g of fibre daily cause constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If dehydrated: A high fiber diet is generally beneficial. If it is not adequately hydrated, then "can" thicken / constipate. Some recommend this with severe diarrhea for this effect, to absorb fluid and thicken the stool.
