Soluble Fiber Foods

Soluble fibers are important to prevent Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms and to relieve diarrhea and constipation.

Soluble fiber has no calories because it fully passes through the body. Soluble fiber is not found in foods like bran and raw leafy green vegetables. Foods appearing fiberous need not be high in fiber like lettuce. The whole grains, cereal foods, fruits, vegetables and nuts, in general, are good sources of soluble fibers.

Given below is a list of foods with their total fiber content, soluble fiber content and insoluble fiber content.
