Hey Bryson,
Just to throw another wrench into your chain, Calcium also binds fat by forming calcium salts with the free fatty acids. So, you’d be losing out on the effects of fat with that as well.
As far as the psyllium goes, I’ll get back to you on that b/c I’m just heading off to the gym and if I wait any longer I won’t make it.
And Thunder: I’m the she-machine and Timbo is the he-machine… maybe you can be our machine-dawg. haha
Yeah, dude, all this fiber talk is really making my bowels move. Another case of TMI, sorry.
Thunder, damn straight. This girl is freakin’ machine. A hottie, too.
Bryson, good question. But if you look back at the posts in this thread, in L-Train “Article Clear-Up” thread, and in L-Train’s article, you’ll see that the type of fiber that speeds up transit time in the GI–and subsequently reduces bioavailability of nutrients–is insoluble fiber.
Psyllium husks, on the other hand, are a form of soluble fiber. So, you can put on a clean pair of undies and keep doing what you’re doing…at least until Cass puts me in place and gives you the correct answer;-)
Cass,
Great info. on this fiber/digestion thread!
Just out of curiosity, what are the most common ways that you get your fiber (sources)?
Fortunately for me, I still have a better physique than both of you. hehe

Proof that life isn’t fair. 
Tim, my dear Tim,
Don’t sell yourself so short. You got it right about psyllium. So, as you would say, that’s money, (but in Canadian language) we’re talking Queen E, baby!
The only funny thing about psyllium is that although it’s a soluble fiber, it increases fecal bulk (like an insoluble fiber) and unlike souble fiber, it’s not fermented to short chain fatty acids.
So, in the grand scheme of things, it also slows the rate of glucose into the blood, but at the same increases fecal bulk to help prevent constipation by moving matter through the GI quicker. So, you will have to put on those clean undies and keep changing them after your frequent trips to the biffie.

Body IQ,
Personally, my sources of dietary fiber are: (In order of decreasing fiber content)
Fiber One cereal, ground flax, oat bran, oatmeal, nuts (cashews), brown rice, bulgur, kashi, summer squash, apple, zuchinini, green beans, spinach, and romaine lettuce.
I also somtimes take Sugar free Metamucil if I feel I really ‘need’ it. But, as long as I eat the aformentioned foods, I’m all good 
bump for “D”, since I’m an idiot and can’t figure out how to get the link to the thread.
