Fiber and digestion?

Is there any evidence that fiber actually slows digestion?

It seems to me that it only bulks or creates more waste/stool and doesn't actually slow things down. When taking it I still have the spasms and gurgles associated with "too fast" digestion and still have bowel movements at the same times of day when i don't take it. There aren't less bowel movements from taking it just bulkier ones.

I was just curious if there are any tests or trials showing that it actually slows down the digestion in IBS-D.
