soluble fiber vs insoluble fiber

Hi all, recently i have been having symptoms of IBS, but my colitis is fine thanks to imuran, reading up on trying things to help ibs, they say soluble fiber is good for it and insoluble is not, but most of you guys say insoluble fiber is good for UC, so now, i having a CLUE what to eat or what SUPPLEMENTS to take, can anyone shed any light on this,am not a good reader as such,so some simple answers would help, because it seems my only way out would be to turn into a rabbit and live in a box and eat lettuce and drink water all day.THANKS

hi symptom free from what ibs or uc?

Hi Pauly,

I think in general soluble fiber is easier on the colon than insoluble fiber. What about adding metamucil or something to that effect? I am def. no fiber expert, but it seems that many do well w/ a metamucil, benefiber etc...
