In Response To: Psylium and Inulin Fiber (Maureen)

Psylium and inulin are both considered soluble fibers - a term used by health care and nutrition associations. There is not any clear idea anymore of the difference between soluble and insoluble fibers, because the effects they were thought to have on the human physiology do not hold true. In fact, there are many different types of fibers and the varied substances seem to have unique effects. Psylium and inulin would be used for different reasons, so there really is no "versus" among them. Psylium seems to aid with constipation and diarrheal problems by affecting the stool composition while inulin seems useful in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the intestinal system.
