Some common symptoms are gas and bloating, irregular bowl movement, and constipation. In some worse cases it could lead to diverticulitis, high blood cholesterol, and colon and breast cancer. Low fiber intake, along with a high calorie diet has been linked with causing obesity.

You are likely to gain weight because your food will not have as much volume and it will empty from your stomach faster, so you will feel hungry more often. Foods low in fiber often require more chewing, so it takes less time to eat, and you can eat a large number of calories in a short amount of time. You may develop Diabetes, because glucose will enter your bloodstream quickly, causing glucose and insulin spikes after meals. You may also develop coronary Heart disease and colorectal cancers.

If you don't get enough insoluble fiber (found in the cell walls of plants), your stools will be harder and smaller, and they will move more slowly through your intestines, causing constipation. You may develop diverticulosis, a painful inflammation of the intestinal wall.

If you don't get enough soluble fiber (found inside plant cells) food may move more quickly through your intestines, causing diarrhea. You may also have too much LDL ("bad") cholesterol and total cholesterol in your bloodstream, causing cardiovascular disease.

To ensure that you eat sufficient dietary fiber, eat plenty of plant foods: fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. Avoid meat, milk, and eggs, which contain no fiber. Canned and frozen fruits and vegetables contain just as much fiber as raw ones. Drying and crushing, however, destroy the water-holding qualities of fiber. Removing seeds, peels, or hulls also reduces fiber content. For example, whole tomatoes have more fiber than peeled tomatoes, which have more than Tomato Juice. Likewise, whole wheat bread contains more fiber than white bread.

Dietary fiber is necessary for proper digestion in the body. A lack of adequate fiber can lead to constipation, weight gain, unstable blood sugar, and nausea or tiredness.

If you don't eat enough fiber, you will get constipated. Just like if you eat way way too much you will have a totally complete blowout.
