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 fiber is misleading, because many types of dietary fibers are not fibers at all. There are two broad types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. 1  Soluble fiber dissolves in water. 2  It changes as it goes through the digestive tract, where it is fermented by bacteria. 3  As it absorbs water it becomes gelatinous.
