How much fiber did you eat? All of it.

Wouldn't that actually be a problem because it absorbs water?

I mean, I don't know how it works when it's in food. But psyllium husk is a bit interesting. Diarrhea? It absorbs water. Constipation? It absorbs water, and is something soft.
Now take too much or don't drink enough water and you're absolutely screwed.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6197948/

21-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department complaining of a lower abdominal pain and constipation for 5 days. [...] The patient was diagnosed to have a constipation and was discharged home on Psyllium (ispaghula husk) sachets 7 g twice daily as a laxative. [...] Repeated abdominal X-ray showed a huge fecal loading filling the whole colon with no gas fluid levels

During his stay in the hospital, the patient admitted that prior to the onset of the constipation he had ingested psyllium husks as herbal medicine for the purpose of weight control and health promotion. He ingested the husks without adequate amount of fluids because he was fasting in Ramadan (during fasting hours, no eating or drinking fluids are allowed). While in the hospital, the patient received repeated enemas. He passed a huge amount of fecal matter and the intestinal obstruction was relieved.
