Oatbran is the husk that is removed from the oatmeal. Oatmeal has roughly equal amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber (approx. 2 grams of each). Oat bran has more insoluble fiber than soluble fiber (about 3 grams and 2 grams respectively).

Here is a link to a study that compared the effects of oat bran and pysllium on IBS suffers. Early dropout was most common in the bran group. Cereal brans including oat bran are know to exacerbate IBS symptoms. It might be best to stick with oatmeal
