Fiber in general is not recommended for people using opiates for pain control, for example.

My gastroenterologist explained this to me after I had problems also. I told him I upped my fiber on top of an already fiber-rich diet. He said when you're on opiates, it slows down all that fiber and it sits there making the whole "traffic-jam" worse. Fluids, hydration, stool softener +/or laxatives what what he suggested.
