Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

Women should consume between about 25 and 30 mgs of fiber per day. If you are consuming foods with fiber, as well as a 30 mgs per day as a supplement, you may be taking too much.

Here is a list of high fiber foods (cut and paste) : https://www.empowher.com/constipation/content/eating-good-health-top-fiber-filled-food-picks?page=0,0

If you have a high fiber diet, you may need to lessen your supplement intake.

Best,
Susan
