a question about soluble and insoluble fiber?

Question

what's the difference? which one is the better one?

Answer 1

soluble fiber is finer, and more evenly distributed in your gut, less chance of constipation, but with all the benefits of fiber. Insoluble fiber tends to clump in the gut and if you don't drink tons of water can cause fairly serious consitpation. Soluble fiber is more expensive however, so budget conscious folks tend to use the insoluble. My personal choice is the soluble fiber.
