    I don't think so....I really need my fiber and I need to get more in.

    No, but if you are used to eating like 10 grams of fiber and you suddenly jump to 40 it may be unpleasant for your bowels.

    Agreed. Actually I seem to get that pain more when I eat a few servings of old-fashioned oatmeal in a day. But no, the protein and fiber are minimums.
