Is it possible eat too much fiber?

Fiber is good. We have fiber bars, cereal, chews, drinks, and I am certain I am forgetting a product or two.
There is wood pulp or celluolose in fig newtons and other products. Just fiber people, sure we might not be able to digest it, but that is the definition of fiber according to the fda.
I don’t eat these products but I would say that roughly 80 percent of my diet has some quantity of fiber naturally occurring in it.
Is this disproportionate? Should I be eating less fiber? Is there some long term side effect of eating too much fiber?
