I started having the above problem last year after drastically increasing my fiber intake. I think I have pelvic floor dysfunction which creates a blockage. Adding more fiber makes the problem worse because you just have more poo moving toward the blockage, but not getting around it. I still eat a ton of fiber but laxatives have helped.
It depends what kind of fiber, bran clogs me up but Metamucil makes it slip out easily, with a sort of slime coating to lube every lump.
