You can't live on it or you'll walk around dribbling out diarrhea all the time.

There was a period before soylent people discovered fiber, when this was true, but now I think all the various manufacturers of this type of stuff adding it, and beyond the almost inevitable adjustment period, it actually stabilises. And we're talking days, not even weeks.

Sure if you go 100% soylent without ramping. Any major diet change usually ends up with diarrhea. Typically your body adjusts. Its the same tired trope when people complain about diarrhea from cuisuine they rarely eat.

I've never done it but know multiple people who have lived off soylent(or alternatives) for long periods of time.

I'd imagine if it promises to deliver 100% of what your body needs it incudes a decent amount of fiber
