Juicing removes a significant amount of insoluble fiber but not all even from citrus fruits. All fruits and veggies contain insoluble fiber. Most of it is contained in the skin and cell walls. Many juicers have sharp shredding teeth and a sieve which filters out large particles. If the shredder can produces small particles that contain insoluble fiber they can passes through the sieve.
One thing you might do to remove more insoluble fiber is to peel things like carrots before juicing. There is no way to know exactly how much insoluble fiber is removed. You will have to experiment with different fruits and veggies and see which one give you less problems. Perhaps the best way to start is by not making complicated mixtures of fruit and veggies. Try some pure carrot juice, or citrus juice and see how it goes. BTW - beets are fairly high in insoluble fiber. If you are going to juice them it might be best to peel them first.
