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.
Classifying Fiber - Soluble and Insoluble. One way to classify fiber is by how easily it dissolves in water. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, which helps soften stools, making them easier to eliminate from the body. Soluble fiber is found in oats, citrus fruits, apples, barley, psyllium, flax seeds and beans. Insoluble fiber is found in whole grains, nuts, wheat bran and vegetables. This fiber doesn't dissolve in water, so it helps move material through the colon faster by increasing the bulk of the stool.
