Can you really eat too much fiber ? what are the signs of too much ? how much is the max people can eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really, but: There's always a point where there's an excess of something, though it would be hard to get to that point reasonably with fiber. I suppose if you eat bales of hay at a time, you could reach an unsafe amount, but it is not something 99.9% of people would have to worry about with a normal diet.
