No

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Fiber adds to the bulk of the stool.
So with a high fiber diet , you should have only well formed stools ( Type 3 & 4 in the Chart).
If you are having Type 6, it means you have loose stools.
Drink enough fluids to remain well hydrated.
You may consider taking probiotics
Regards,
