Can Healthy Eating Go Too Far?

I swear nobody warns you about this. I thought fiber was supposed to make everything better smooth digestion, less bloating, feeling clean. Instead, my stomach turned into a balloon and I was more uncomfortable than ever. What shocked me was learning that yes, fiber is healthy but too much can literally backfire. Everyone’s gut reacts differently, so what works for one person might leave someone else in pain. Now I’m learning balance the hard way.
