OK, I'm just curious and hope someone can help me understand. I've tried quite a few fiber supplements. Some of them, when mixed with water, get thick and gooey (Citrucel, Metamucil). The other ones (acacia, Fibersure, Benefiber) don't get thick and they look more or less like plain water only.
From what I've learned about fiber I know that it works by forming a thick gel with water. So how come some of these fibers don't get thick when I mix them in my glass?
I'm not saying some fibers are better then others, I'm just confused  .
