Soluble versus insoluble fiber is really Heather-IBS 101 and way beyond the scope of a quick Q&A. Read the links that are prerequisites for posting on this Board for an explanation. You can see them on the Main Message Boards page right below the name of this Board in the left-hand column of the grid (if you can't find them, please say so). Also, the sticky posts at the top of page 1 of this Board have still more basic info.
For questions about Crohn's rather than IBS, you might do better on the Crohn's and Colitis Board.
