More fiber can: be helpful IF you ensure you are well enough hydrated. Excess fiber with inadequate fluids can clog you up even more. Be physically active too. Take care.

Insoluble fiber.: Increasing your intake of insoluble fiber specifically, as long as your water intake is adequate, will help your bowel habits.
