From what I understand, the reason seeds/husks are a problem is that they tend to get stuck in the little "pockets" and cause inflammation/allow bacteria to grow and cause problems there. Fiber, on the other hand, is a good thing because it adds bulk to the stool and makes it easier for the muscles in the colon to push it along.
