Hi there - You cannot become dependent on soluble fiber supplements. They are NOT laxatives. There's info about this here: Soluble Fiber

The labels for the supplements fall under FDA regulations for laxatives, but that information is actually not applicable to soluble fiber. There's info about that here: Soluble Fiber Labeling

That post is about Equalactin but the information applies to all supplements.

The IBS diet is for both constipation and diarrhea, because it normalizes bowel function from either extreme. There's info about that here:

How can the same diet work for diarrhea AND constipation?

Welcome to the board!
