What do you guys think about Benefiber? I have been taking 1 tablespoon a day for the last week and will be upping it to 2 tbs on Monday. I was told to take Metamucil, but I here it can be hard on you. I have enough pain and gas as it is. Any good experiences?DF

I LOVE Benefiber. It is the only fiber I can tolerate with NO side effects.

Hi Desertflower: I love Benefiber. I have tried Metamucel, Fibercon, and Citracel. Had trouble with all of them, but Benefiber. I was also having trouble w/constipation and once in a while the other. I take 1 Tablespoon to 1 1/2 TBSP. a day in the evening. I also have some Raisin Bran for breakfast and always a salad and vegetables for supper. So that way I am getting soluble and insoluble fiber everyday. I have never been as regulated as I am now. I have been taking the Benefiber since last Sept. 05. Be consistent with taking Benefiber everyday. Try to add some other fiber during the day and drink lots of water. I like Tiss, I don't have any side effects from Benefiber. Mixes well, doesn't taste bad and you can take it the rest of your Life everday. Good Luck.

RajHi, desertflower, Have you tried chewable tablets of Benefiber. Do Benefiber tablets work as well as the powder. I I am IBS-C .I have been using Citrucel powder and recently tried Benefiber tabs. Too early to decide which is better. Any comments?? Thanks.

I think Benefiber is guar gum, whatever that is. I take 1 tblspn in the a.m. and another tblespn in the evening. I also use magnesium supplements and try to eat a pretty high fiber diet.
