Hard stools

Question

Hard stools

Asked for Male, 34 Years

I rarely used to eat fruits. I changed my diet and started consuming about 300-400gms of a variety of fruits every day. Ever since i started consuming fruits, my stools have got hard. Even fiber husk powder isn't helping. I do not have constipation. Does adding fruits suddenly into diet cause hard stools.
