High fiber diet & loose stools everyday
Hi all,
It's been a month since I switched to high fiber diet to control my constipation. My constipation is completely gone but I'm having loose stools everyday. It's usually type 6 and sometimes type 7 (watery) but without any stomach pain. I do however feel too much movement inside my stomach in the morning and late night. Can a high fiber diet (almost 45-50g/day) cause loose stools? Do I need to cut down on fiber or is it okay to have loose stools cuz of this?

Our intestines take time adapt to new diet. May be months also.
It depends on what foods you are having. Sometimes one particular food may just be changed to avoid diarrhea.
