Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Consuming too much fiber too quickly can lead to more bowel movements than normal or to frequent bowel movements. Having frequent bowel movements may be a result of eating more fiber than you usually do. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your stool and speeds bowel movements, which can lead to more frequent bowel movements. Additionally, both types of dietary fiber stimulate bacteria in your colon and may cause an increased frequency of bowel movements, as well as gas, bloating and abdominal discomfort.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
