Just a flash thought about the benefiber and other soluble fibers...
Cinnamon.
I did an experiment a few years back after we had been advising diabetics to get cinnamon into their diets everyday. I was curious as to why. Turns out it is a soluble fiber. *probably some other things in it as well, that help lower and stablize blood sugars*
Just put like a teaspoon of cinnamon into a cup of coffee, for example. If you forget about your cup for a while and forget to stir it, you will find it has gelled up on the bottle of your cup. That is what soluble fiber does, it is why oatmeal gets that gelatinous quality to it. Amazing stuff this fiber.
Just do it.
