Why is soluble fiber so special? Because unlike any other food category, it soothes and regulates the digestive tract, stabilizes the intestinal contractions resulting from the gastrocolic reflex, and normalizes bowel function from either extreme. That's right – soluble fiber prevents and relieves BOTH diarrhea and constipation . Nothing else in the world will do this for you.
But if soluble fiber relieves diarrhea AND constipation, why is rice milk constipating?? I'm sorry, I'm still dreadfully confused
