Soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is soft and sticky, and absorbs water to form a gel-like substance inside the digestive system. Top sources include beans, peas, oats, barley, fruits, and avocados. Soluble fiber helps soften stool so it can slide through the GI tract more easily.
Some types of soluble fibers form a thick gel when they blend with water. These are known as viscous fibers. Put simply, the viscosity of a fluid refers to its thickness. For example, the sweetener honey is more viscous than water. When you eat viscous fiber, it forms a gel-like substance that sits in the gut.
