Default Resistant starch & fiber

How is resistant starch (like potato starch) different from (soluble) fiber? Both pass through to the colon where they feed the gut bacteria.

Thanks.

Resistant Starch, a Unique Soluble Fiber
Humans only produce enzymes (amylases) to degrade one of the hundreds of plant polysaccharides, linear starch. RS is not degraded by human amylases and, as with other soluble fibers, it is degraded by bacterial enzymes in the colon and is fermented to short chain fatty acids. The difference is that the glucose released from hydrolysis of RS is used directly by common gut bacteria, whereas the other sugars released from other soluble fibers require enzymes produced by particular species of bacteria to be converted first to glucose. RS is a unique form of starch and a unique soluble fiber.


This helps me. I hope it helps you.
Thanks.
