Do BOTH soluble and insoluble fibre interfere with the absorption of minerals 
or just the insoluble fibre since it cannot be digested?   

I find it easy to have more than 35 grams of fibre a day.  So, if one chooses 
to use milk separte from cereals, what should the order be - milk/soymilk 
first then cereal with water or the other way round.  Which takes longer to 
digest, fibre (cereal) or protein (milk/soymilk)?
