What are the side effects of excess cellulose fiber consumption?
Excess consumption of cellulose fiber may harm healthy people. This may particularly occur when people take fiber supplements or additives rather than cellulose fiber through a balanced diet.
Excessive consumption of cellulose fiber may cause side effects such as:
The side effects are more likely to occur in people who suddenly increase their fiber intake or do not consume sufficient water along with increased fiber intake. Additionally, a sedentary lifestyle may make one more likely to experience side effects.
Fiber supplements may interfere with the absorption of certain medications such as aspirin and seizure medications. They may cause low blood sugar levels, particularly in people on anti-diabetic medications.
Thus, although the U.S. FDA declares cellulose fiber as a safe food additive and supplement, it is wise to discuss with your doctor your daily fiber needs, particularly if you wish to take fiber supplements. It is always prudent to start with lower doses and then increase gradually to avoid any side effects.
