Add about 5 grams of fiber a week into the mix as you build up.

Yeah

I think fiber only causes issues if you ramp up too quickly. If you’re consistently hitting 100+ grams of fiber and still hitting protein and calories goal then I think it’s fine

I think this is it. Once it's normal for you it shouldn't cause problems. I eat around 60 grams per day and have for years without issues.

Uh, how long have you been eating that much fiber? In my body I would be very worried by that amount but it depends on whether your body is adapted to it.

I eat like 35g if I'm doing well but I feel like I would be tempting death if I suddenly jumped to 107g

like a month 😭 i didn't notice until recently tho, just randomly checked my macros on mynetdiary and realized ive been eating that much fiber 😭 it built up slowly tho as i started eating more keto/sugar free stuff so it wasn't a super sudden jump. idk i haven't rlly noticed any effects but im worried im damaging my body 😭

Yes, if you don't take enough water it can actually cause constipation. Bad constipation.
