    Are you using default settings? If you are, then going over by 10-20 is actually in the healthy recommended range. If you've customized your settings so that you're aiming for 25-30 grams per day, then going over might cause gas and bloating, but aside from that, I still wouldn't worry about it.

    getting over 25 grams of fiber a day is associated with a lower risk of diverticulosis and colon cancer----since my whole family gets colon cancer I make sure I get at least 30 grams a day----other than walking outside:blushing: once in a while --no problems
