Taking fiber supplement for the last 6 months. i rarely use to pass gas my whole life,i think because i definitely wasn't getting much fiber at all. now i do almost every day since increasing fiber finally. is it the fiber or something sinister?

I think it's the fiber supplement causing gas buildup in the intestinal tract. I trust it's also helping you to have regular bowel movements. If you're having too much gas buildup, reduce the amount of fiber supplement.
