In the morning I make a protein shake with chia seeds, hemp seeds,flaxseed, rolled steel cut oats, dark chocolate (2 tablespoons each), plain protein powder, and 2% milk, for lunch I make a sandwich with the carbonaut gf gluten free bread (nutrition said 15g), and for dinner I'll have chickpea pasta or beans and tacos or something.
Chia seeds (or sometime flaxseed) don't suit some people, but chia seem to not suit more people. If you get diarrhea after eating them cut them out. Other than getting diarrhea or lots of loose bowel movements, lots of fiber is usually grand and pretty good for you.

The true judge of whether or not you’re eating too much fiber is if you’re struggling with bowel movements and the texture of your deposit into the porcelain throne
"Too much fiber" is only really a problem if your body isn't used to it, or if you have GI issues like IBS. If you go from only eating small amounts to suddenly eating large amounts, it can stop you up. Drink lots of water and make sure to get healthy fats in your diet, you should be fine. If things aren't moving as they should or you're experiencing GI distress, then you might want to dial it back, at least in the short term.
If you consume too much fiber, you *will* know it.
The thing is I already get bad diarrhea cuz I take metformin cuz of my diabetes lmfao, so idk if it's the fiber or the metformin lmfao

Do you have bathroom problems? If not, you'll be fine. Just stay hydrated.
no such thing.
There is if not enough water is consumed. Then the opposite happens.
No way. Looks like you could fit in cooked veggies (even a frozen bag with your pasta). This would round out your nutrition (but may still lack things like B12). To make it easy I will throw the bag of frozen veggies in with the pasta when the pasta is almost done and then drain the whole thing. I even boil eggs in with the pasta water to eat at that time or sometime later.
I doubt your even hitting the 30g recommended amount
Once the toilet gets clogged then yes
You're more water than anything else, and far greater in scope as a human than just a consumer.
Probably fine but to get the real answer you need to do some math and add up your grams per day. Oh, and keep hydrated regardless of high or low fibre.
I don’t see fruits or vegetables in your list.
Yes
Likely. Fat > fiber. Don’t be a carby my friend
If you’re eating too much fiber and not balancing it with enough water you’re more likely to get constipated than diarrhea, I think.
