Soluble Fiber

An important nutrient in every diet, soluble fiber corrects BOTH constipation and diarrhea. It sucks up water so it "makes a turd" no matter what your stomach already has going on. It does not cause sneak attack diarrhea.
It is vital in managing IBS.

Soluble fiber is found mainly in what your dad calls "starches" white breads, pasta, skinned potatoes and also in "smooth" fruits like apples, pears, and plums(sans skin).

You need more soluble fiber, have a Metamucil cookie. All those whole grains you eat might as well be tree bark. Sure, they scrape the cancer out of your colon, but they don't make a turd.
