Your body needs time to adjust, you should work your way up to it.

I think I’ve started reaching this amount recently since I’ve changed my diet and started eating more oatmeal and fruits/vegetables. With that said, fiber can actually cause problems for some people, it can cause bloating/pain for some people even with adequate water intake to match the fiber.

True, but some people’s bodies don’t need time to adjust, and some people’s bodies are unable to adjust, it just depends on the person.

if your body can’t handle fibre, that’s not fibre being bad, that’s it telling you that you need to start getting in contact with medical professionals to make sure you stay healthy.

Not necessarily true, some people just don’t tolerate fiber well. It doesn’t mean that they absolutely definitely have something wrong, for some people it just causes bloating no matter what.

If you suddenly add the recommended dosage to your diet, you will absolutely have problems like that at first.
It’s ideal to slowly increase your fiber intake so your body has time to adjust to it. That way those problems are minimized until it’s a regular part of your diet.

To be fair, I added them to my diet without ramping up without issues, and there are people who can ramp them up and their body never adjusts to it/handles it properly. It all depends on the person, ultimately.
