Benefiber vs. Metamucil
| Thu, 01-15-2004 - 11:10am |
Is there a reason Metamucil is so heavily recommended vs. other brands? My doctor recommended/suggested Benefiber - there isn't any taste and you can sprinkle it on your food or in any beverage and I find it much better than Metamucil (although it's a bit more expensive). I haven't thought to look at the label to see if I should be concerned about carb content. (I can't imagine that there would be - it's fiber!)
Please let me know!

Don't know about any other brands.
This first time I took it I was very nervous about a catastrophe.

I have IBS and use Benefiber to contradict the "other" problem...since I've been on SBD, my condition has been TREMENDOUSLY better.

Ok this is what I see that are the differences.
Benefiber says to use 2 teaspoons in 8 oz. water if you choose to drink it
