1122: Insoluble fiber may need more attention

 I do not know if it is just because I had a period in which I consumed too much psyllium husk (as part of coconut bread making) or that ignoring the type of fiber is not that much a good advice, but I have very recently focussed on consuming much more insoluble fiber and by as much as I can no soluble fiber or resistance starch (although not as much restriction with the later because of my rice addiction) and I became with healthy bowel movements like I have never been for a long time. I do not know if others need to take the same measure but they may need to pay more attention to their need to consume insoluble fiber, because it seems like most of the fiber around us is of the soluble type. Coconut flour is one of the exceptions (although that apparently was not enough to counter the amount of psyllium husk I used to take with it in the coconut flour bread I used to make) but recently I have been adding oat hull insoluble fiber (sold in packages) to the bread I make from regular flour (although I now think that I may not need to lower that because I also began to consume too much sesame seeds (of the hull not removed type) which are also high in insoluble fiber).
