Karen Hurd, a nutritionist and biochemist, has a lot of interesting info about soluble fiber. Many podcasts and YouTube channels have interviewed her. Short version: soluble fiber in beans is missing from many of our diets, it helps us detox fat soluble toxins and binds bile so it leaves in the toilet rather than being reabsorbed with the toxins it carries. She has published a book of patient cases in which ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s, and IBS symptoms resolve with her nutritional advice.
I hadn't heard of her, so thanks for the heads up.
There aren't many beans in my diet right now, but probably enough soluable fiber from other sources. I've really upped my aerobic exercise recently. That, the additional soluable fiber that comes increased fruit consumption this time of year and avoiding the fat-without-fiber seems to be improving things. Time will tell.

Maybe it’s the fat, but coffee on an empty stomach always irritates my digestive system, even when (or especially when) I drink it black
I suspect that is mainly the acidity.
I have a similar type of coffee each morning, but I also add a scoop of inulin.
