No way are potatoes all insoluble fiber. For instance here is a chart that lists a baked potato as 2.0 soluble and 2.7 insoluble (most likely the skin).

http://www.depts.ttu.edu/hospitality/what_eat/fiber.php

Cooked potatos (or at least certain kinds) would melt to nothing in water. Especially russets (which is why I like them in soups because they break down and thicken the broth.)

But I do think you are getting a little overly worried about the amounts. One of the main principles, it seems to me, in reading over the site, is that the soluble and the insoluble are meant to work together. I would guess that the main thing about the "safe" foods for breaking the cycle is that they are largely soluble. Also, with rice, to me, the most important thing is that it is the only starch that does not cause gas at all. I think that is sometimes where people get off track too, eating only foods of the break the cycle diet and failing to add in insoluble. It's got to work together.

* Aha, you mean total fiber listed = water insoluble + "even more insoluble"?
Ulrika

* The site in my original post does list both soluble and insoluble fiber!
