A member asked:

What could be the cause of terrible abdominal pain and bloating after eating high fiber foods?

Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

A lot of fiber: With inadequate fluids or excess caffeine or alcohol will cause the problems you describe. Eliminate caffeine and alcohol and drink 80-100 oz of other fluids and back down a bit on your fiber.
