No: Eating fiber does not cause constipation. In fact, consuming soluble fiber actually treats constipation as well as diarrhea. Some people take drug agents containing fiber to help with bowel movements. To prevent constipation, you should eat foods high in fiber such as oatmeal, apples, bananas, and vegetables.
