A rapidly dispersible, non-gelling, non-gritty low-viscosity producing powder having use as a laxative and fiber supplement essentially containing non-digestible maltodextrin agglomerated with natural gums is disclosed. Non-digestible maltodextrins containing 30-40% hydro-alcohol precipitable fiber content are agglomerated in a fluid bed agglomerator, utilizing a solution of gums like guar and acacia having greater than 70% hydro-alcohol precipitable fiber content. These fiber agglomerates when added to water or liquid beverages disperse within few seconds without needing any mechanical stirring. Fiber powder agglomerates produced utilizing the current invention dispersed within seconds without forming any lumps in soft foods like yogurt, soft ice cream, pudding, thick soups, sauce, and fruit puree. Agglomerated powders enriched a variety of soft foods and beverages with high doses of fiber, without significantly altering the taste or texture.
