A member asked:
Can poop become too big? like, if you take too much of a bulk forming fiber? can it take long-term constipation worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When fiber is taken, one should drink plenty of water to make sure that there is no obstruction caused by bulky stools. Hence take fiber properly and Constipation will be history. Good luck. Hope it helps.
