What puzzles me is folks saying that fiber helps. Fiber, soluble or insoluble does absolutely nothing good for me. I softens the stool, makes it sticky and pasty, increases the frequency of bowel movements, and causes incredible flatus. Basically I take Imodium to counteract the effects of dietary fiber. Fiber supplements are sold for the purpose of increasing the frequency of bowel movements, not slowing them down.
Everybody is different.

Fiber would theoretically work by making it easier to poo before the ride, rather than waiting for after the ride.
