    My fibre is over the norm and I'm every other day when dieting. Shouldn't be an issue though. I believe this is also normal. If it turns into two days or more I eat foods that will induce it like popcorn. Works like a charm.

    Popcorn works? ?? Never heard that before

    My aunt and grandmother used to swear by it as a "regulator."

    Sometimes excess of dietary fibers can cause constipation because your digestive system did not get use to so much fiber. In that case popcorn and other dry food can make it even worse.
    The easiest way to get rid of delay is to take water soluble fibers as a Metamucil or Benefiber. Also it helps with discomfort caused by bloating.
