Soluble versus insoluble fibre is the traditional distinction used to categorise food sources of dietary fibre. According to the viscosity and fermentability of the Dietary Fibers, plant foods include both types in varied degrees. The benefits of ingesting fibre vary depending on the type consumed and the potential benefits to the gastrointestinal system. Water is absorbed and held by bulking fibres like cellulose and hemicellulose (including psyllium), which encourages regularity. Beta-glucan and psyllium, two viscous Dietary Fibers, thicken the faecal bulk. The large intestine's bacteria and microbiota are fed by fermentable fibres such resistant starch, xanthan gum, and inulin, which are then metabolised to produce short-chain fatty acids with a variety of functions in maintaining digestive health.
