HI Zeraph,
A few things to keep in mind. When you normally eat a diet that is generally low in fibre, to introduce it into the diet, it must be done so slowly and gradually. No more than 2-3 g at a time and see how your body tolerates it. If you introduced it too quickly when your system is not use to it, it can cause diarrhea, bloating, flatulence and digestive problems. Remember, lots of foods contain fibre: fruits, vegetables, cereals, breads and legumes. You need 25-35g per day to get the maximal benefits and need to drink at least 2 L of water per day.
Try cutting back and sticking to fruits and vegies for a while. Once symptoms resolve, add 1 slice of multigrain/wholemeal bread see how you feel and go from there...
Good luck!
