In the list of great debates, soluble fiber vs. insoluble fiber might not be the most exciting, but it's definitely worth looking at. You've all heard that you should get more fiber, but have you heard about the two types of fiber?
Do you think you're getting enough fiber? Let me know below.

thank you dear for the info, I just learned about the fibres, and it helps a lot that you mention the effects of too much of the soluble fibres without balancing it with water intake. :-)

Soluble fiber and starch thickens the consistency of the stool. Include one or two of the BRAT( banana, rice, applesauce, and toast) diet food and you should feel better hopefully :)

What would be the most ideal ratio of soluble and insoluble fiber?

[@mohamedn87]

How much water do you need per gram of fiber?. Nobody seems to be discussing this.

I have chronic diarrhea (past 6 years), and have been diagnosed with IBS and ulcerative colitis. Im HIV negative and not anemic. I've tried different foods to try and solidify or have regular BMs, like cheese, beef, and oil intake--it has worked, but not all the time. I took lots of aspirin about 6 years ago--and believe that may have played a role. Is it a fungus? Is it hormonal? Is my liver or something damaged? Is there something I can eat to make it better? I don't know. :(

lentils have a lot of fiber, which category of fiber does that fall under?

very informative, thank you(: i have a question tho.
so if i blend my oatmeal in the morning, like i make it into a drinkable thing, kinda like a smoothie but it's the same i would've eaten except blended to be able to drink, does that make any difference in the fiber? is it bad, doesn't make a difference, why?

[@ConsciousnessNow]

steam ur veggies, when you cook veggies most the fiber content stays, u lose more of the vitamins and minerals, that is why adding in juicing is great!!

[@Mr.alwaysmakingmoves]

Very beneficial

[@foodpuppie]

I think I get more soluble, because I eat oatmeal a lot, but I'm not sure I get enough roughage. Thank you for showing the difference.
