Welcome to the board! Yes, it is a common misconception that soluble fiber (rice, bananas, "starches") are not good for constipation. In fact, they are wonderful. When you take a "fiber" supplement - guess what it is - soluble fiber! It helps both D and C.
Limited budget? Join the club! I would suggest if you can, go to an asian store. Buy a 20 lb bag of rice. It'll cost you probably less than $10 and will last you forever and ever. Rice is an excellence source of soluble fiber and mixes well with almost any vegetable or meat. You can also flavour it up in lots of different ways.
