Fibre is contained in the food we eat and as the food makes its way through the Gastro-intestinal track, it absorbs body fluids and gains bulk. Being harder than the rest of the food matter it doesn't get dissolved or decomposed and finally reaches the exit point mostly intact. The fecal matter with the fifbre holding it into a bulky mass, passes the anal orifice.

Through the mouth, down the oesophagus, into the duodenum via the stomach, on down through the small intestine, the colon, into the rectum and out the anus. In other words, the same as all food, except it's not absorbed into the bloodstream on the way.

think of it as a brillo pad (scouring pad) for your tubes.. it helps scrap and push everything that needs pushing out of your body.. It acts as a pipe cleaner to your intestines..
