The soluble fiber in isabgol can help regulate bowel movements by adding bulk to the stool and promoting regularity. For people with IBS, it may help ease constipation by making stools softer and easier to pass.
Additionally, the soluble fiber can help absorb excess water in the intestines, which can be beneficial for those experiencing diarrhea as it may help firm up stools.However, it's important to note that the effects of isabgol can vary from person to person.
Some individuals with IBS might find relief from their symptoms by incorporating isabgol into their diet, while others might not experience significant improvement.
