High fiber diet and diarrhea

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

Hi all, Recently I switched to a high fiber plant diet for better health. This was on March 18th. Ever since then my stools are soft and sometimes loose. My frequency has also changed from once a day to twice a day. Is this normal? It's 3 months since I started this diet. This is what I eat. Early morning: lemon and jaggery water. Morning : 1/2kg fruits with dry fruits and coconut. Lunch: hand pound rice with sambar /rasam without dal and sabji with lots of coconut. Night: same as lunch or ragi porridge with dry fruits and coconut and jaggery. Is it normal to have soft /loose stools cuz of this diet
