I believe both the US and UK guidelines for managing IBS (first two references) suggest soluble fiber is moderately effective while insoluble fiber can make things worse.

Personally, I find insoluble fiber and insoluble fiber supplements particularly from cereal grains such as bran produces D even in small amounts. Psyllium which is 67% soluble and 33% insoluble fiber produces D too. I find soluble fiber and soluble fiber supplements reduce the speed of gastric emptying as reported in the literature and they reduce D symptoms. However, some rapidly fermenting soluble fibers, particularly those in the FODMAP class, such as inulin and FOS cause serious D too. Soluble and functional fibers that act as soluble fibers (such as resistant starches) that ferment at a moderate or slow rate don't seem to have any negative effects.
