Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Soluble fibre and juice

Eating soluble fiber first, and then eating insoluble fiber seems to work for me. However, eating insoluble fiber without soluble fiber isn't as easily tolerated. Does anyone here combine soluble fiber supplements with juice? Would that work? There aren't many great soluble fiber foods that one would want to mix in with their drinks.

Also, for anyone with fructose malabsorption, a similar issue would be had with excess fructose. With fruit juices, could combining glucose with the drink help balance out the fructose? Our bodies are able to absorb the fructose when it is combined with glucose, but I'm not sure if simply adding extra glucose to balance it out would work the same as eating foods that are already balanced. Maybe some of the free fructose still escapes, even if the drink as a whole is balanced with extra glucose?
