Fiber is primarily fermented and partially digested in the large intestine, or colon. Here, beneficial gut bacteria break down soluble fiber, producing short-chain fatty acids and gases as byproducts. This fermentation process contributes to gut health and provides some energy to the body. Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, passes through the digestive system largely intact, aiding in regular bowel movements.
