Answer 2

Fiber has multiple benefits. It will help you feel full even if you haven't eaten a lot - esp.if you drink a glass of water with your meal. It also slows down the absorption of carbs so they don't get converted to blood sugar as quickly, so less spikes. It helps your bowels by adding bulk and will move through the body quicker, again esp. with water.

Answer 3

There are many types of soluble fiber supplements available to consumers for nutritional purposes, treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders, and for such possible health benefits as lowering cholesterol levels, reducing risk of colon cancer, and losing weight.

Soluble fiber supplements may be beneficial for alleviating symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, such as diarrhea and/or constipation and abdominal discomfort . Prebiotic soluble fiber products, such as those containing inulin or oligosaccharides, may contribute to relief from inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and Clostridium difficile, due in part to the short-chain fatty acids produced with subsequent anti-inflammatory actions upon the bowel. Fiber supplements may be effective in an overall dietary plan for managing irritable bowel syndrome by modification of food choices
