Soluble & Insoluble Fiber 
Dietary fiber be it soluble from psyllium or oat bran, insoluble fiber from wheat bran or peelings & stalks of fruits or vegetables or from a fiber supplement. They are very important to our digestive health & the health of our body as a whole.
When you increase fiber in your diet you must increase water consumption!
Insoluble Fiber:
Insoluble fiber doesn't dissolve in water & passes through your
digestive system largely unchanged. Insoluble fiber is found
in greatest amounts in cereals, wheat bran, & stalks & peels of fruits &
vegetables.
Insoluble fiber accelerates intestinal transit, increases fecal weight, slows starch hydrolysis, & delays glucose absorption.This means softer, larger feces. It also results in an increased frequency of defecation. As the feces move through your intestine they scour intestinal walls & remove waste matter.(3)
Soluble Fiber:
Soluble fiber dissolves in water & is degraded by bacteria in
your colon. This type of fiber is found in fruits, oats, barley, psyllium & some
beans.
Soluble fiber also increases stool volume & stool water content.(4) It is believed that soluble fiber does this in a different manner than that done my insoluble fiber.
Soluble fiber forms a gel in your intestines which regulates the flow of waste material through your digestive tract. Soluble fiber slows stomach emptying time delaying absorption of glucose from your blood stream & has been shown to lower cholesterol.(1)

There is no dangerous side effect or reaction to fiber; as long as adequate water is
consumed. When fiber is increased, water must be increased, also.
American Family Physicians states, "Current evidence suggests that moderate fiber intake will not cause nutrient deficiencies. Authorities suggest caution with the use of purified fiber supplements & recommend use of fiber from a variety of food sources." Still other authorities feel that some supplementation is your most practical way to get much needed fiber. It seems that judgment must be executed & some supplementation used.
If people have been exposed to psyllium dust by working in the manufacture of
psyllium products, they my develop an allergy to psyllium.
