Why does my Fiber become clumpy, thick and gel-like?Updated 2 days ago

Fiber has the unique ability to bind with water, which is why you might notice your fiber turning into a gel-like texture or forming clumps as it absorbs liquid. This is actually one of its key functions! As soluble fiber dissolves, it forms a gel that supports digestion and benefits our gut microbiome. This process may also increase satiety and support blood sugar levels. 

Insoluble fiber also aids in moving food through the digestive tract, creating a laxative effect.

Additionally, fiber is a prebiotic, which means it nourishes the health-promoting microbes in your digestive tract.

While this is great for our health, a few helpful tips can make the process a bit more comfortable and enjoyable.  Tips for Fiber GDX
