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.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, soluble fiber aids in the treatment of diarrhea because it passes more slowly through the digestive tract, absorbing water as it moves. Insoluble fiber, which passes more quickly through the digestive system, does not share these absorptive properties.
