You're right... I'll look into that fiber you can dilute in water
If you don't move your bowels daily, you are not eating enough fiber.

Well, this may not make sense, but I don't want hear I'm right. It was a long post about intestines and poo but I wrote it less to make a point but more because, even though I don't "know" you, I have concern for your health and well being.
And supplemental fiber is just that, only about 5 grams of insoluble fiber. Not the best solution, and not roughage. A high fiber cereal, fruit and salads and fresh veggies are much more pleasant, really. I'd rather eat a bowl of brown rice, broccoli and greens than suck down a couple of glasses of Benifiber any day of the week

Not a good one at all. Needing to use a fiber supplement is a sign that you need to re-evaluate your diet.
One (9oz drained) can of organic black beans provides me nearly 20 grams of fiber, in addition to an excellent source of low GI carbs. Far better way to get one's fiber.
Oh another issue can be to much fiber and not enough good fats. I found that one out when contest dieting and I would rotate fat intakes on the low fat intake day it would hurt to go and was hard.
Contest dieting sounds like could have been not enough water in your GI tract to hydrate your stools. Perhaps too much was being excreted by you kidneys. But yes you make a good point about the fats. Even excessive amounts of good fats can cause constipation.
Contest time I drink a stupid amount of water like 2 gallons on average. However the no bowl movement does happen sometimes on peak weak when I am drying out which can be a problem.
That's why I figured it could've been not enough water in your GI tract. When you drink that much it tends to mostly get excreted by the kidneys. Can't remember why though.
