BMs and fiber increase. Am I doing something wrong?

Okay.
This is beginning to drive me crazy.
I do not know if I have done something wrong or not...

I recently [since Sunday] upped my fiber intake [+3g] by adding a soy fiber/protein drink [Balanced Total Nutrition].

I never change what I eat for dinner [Benefiber (1 tablespoon) + sliced banana + rice cereal + rice milk]; yet Wednesday morning [and every morning since... ], I have had to go twice [first: REAL big, second: not D, just loose]. Since I changed to the Diet, I have always had to use the restroom only once before leaving the house. I would always have to use it again, normally around 4:00pm. In other words, quite regular... I also now do not need to use the restroom around 4:00pm. I know that this may sound trivial [as little as 2 BMs a day]; but it is the sudden alteration that has me really confused. I had gotten quite used to the routine, especially knowing that I would not need to use the restroom again for at least twelve hours.

Is it the fiber increase, or is it the soy drink?
Should I decrease my fiber intake?

Advice? Suggestions?

The anxiety is beginning to creep back into my head in the mornings...
