No. I go over fiber everyday and even take a fiber supplement.
It just helps to keep things "moving" in the body, if you know what I mean0 -
I wish I had that problem. There are...consequences with too much fiber however. Your body will let you know0

It is said to be beneficial to eat between 25-35g of fibre a day.
If you do suddenly increase from a low to high level it can cause a few side effects such as gas, loose bowels or constipation...but it doesn't last and your body will soon adjust to the new healthy intake.0 -
If you're going over by a couple grams then I highly doubt it'll matter - I aim for 20-25g but MFP's original setting is 13.8g, which i personally think is too low. If, however, you're having an unusual amount (something like 50g?) then I'd cut it down if I were you.
