Modified starches are type 4 (RS4) of resistant starches. According to below sources, most resistant starches, including modified starches are insoluble in both cold and hot water.

It is this insolubility that makes resistant starches helpful in diarrhea, since insoluble fiber absorbs water and thus increases stool consistency.

Many articles mention that resistant starches have properties of both insoluble ad soluble fiber. What makes resistant starches resembling soluble fiber is their fermentability, so there was an obvious confusion with terms.

I'm opening a new thread about fiber types.
