Fiber is incredibly important for your digest health. It also cleans your duodenum, and vastly lowers the chance of colon cancers. I believe around 28g per day is recommended.

It's neither age nor weight related.

if you have bowel issues at 20 i promise throwing more fiber at your body is not going to magically fix it.

there is a multitude of things that you need to do to repair the gut but it starts with completely revamping your diet and in fact if you need to be taking fiber supplements then that is evidence that there is something very wrong with your diet and gut health in the first place.

Fiber helps you take a shit and you shouldn't be worried about it it at 20 years old.

If you're trying to lose weight look at your overall diet. Not fiber. Eat clean foods, and green veggies which will boost your fiber intake

This is a great reply, gut health is so important!

You said that you want to lose weight at 113lbs, I’m not sure of your height, but it doesn’t seem like you would have much to lose. Learn to eat & train properly, that will give you the results you are looking for.
