Soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is soft and sticky, and absorbs water to form a gel-like substance inside the digestive system. Top sources include beans, peas, oats, barley, fruits, and avocados. Soluble fiber helps soften stool so it can slide through the GI tract more easily.
The word soluble refers to the way this form of fiber reacts when combined with water. Unlike insoluble fiber, or roughage, which does not dissolve in water, soluble fiber dissolves partially into a viscous mass, the Harvard School of Public Health, or HSPH, notes.he soluble fiber in citrus fruits, apples and oats does not break down completely after you eat these foods. Instead, the fluids in your digestive tract turn this form of fiber into a jelly-like substance that slows your absorption of the nutrients in the foods you eat.
