Benefiber

[New Hope 37]

O.K., Bright, I'm looking at my trusty Benefiber bottle now. I have the unflavored dissolvable powder. It is tasteless and mixes into anything..food or drink, hot or cold.

It says...Benefiber Fiber Supplement (from ex-lax corp.). Use 1 1/2 to 3 tablespoons per day. It is a plant fiber (derived from guar gum)..a natural fiber. It is manufactured by Novartis.

They even have a website www.benefiber.com and 800# 1-800-452-0051

So now you can order you a case of it. LOL

Michelle, I saw the French vanilla flavored Mini Wheats and wondered about them today. They are good?

Good ole' Marie to the rescue... thanks for that info! I wonder how many grams of fiber are in a handful of mini-wheats?

Kaleigh, Ive been chewing 2 before my protien shake in the morning.

Becareful, too many too quickly may cause stomach trouble! Gradually increase.

just tried EVERYWHERE in my local mall - including two health food shops and they were baffled at the idea of a fibre supplement!!! Just eat bran, they told me!!! Gee thanks! They only had "Beneflora" which is a probiotic thing so no luck! I'll try Dublin city at the weekend! sigh!

Bright, you want me to mail you some??

I usually only take 1-2 per day. Depends on if I ate any fiber that day. Some days I don't take them at all.

Paula, the frosted shredded wheat box is showing:

1 cup of shredded wheat has 5 grams of fiber.

Just watch about drinking a lot of Water shortly after you eat the dry Cereal....it expands. LOL

Bought some of the Benefiber chewables last night, Orange flavor, tried one and it was not to bad. Will try and take 1 daily for a while and then maybe increase.

So 1 cup of mini wheat thins has 5 gm's of fiber - and the benefiber chewables has 1 gm per tablet. (recommended dosage is 3 at a time)

hmmmmmm......

The mini wheat thins may be the better choice here (certainly less money)

Marie, you're a pet - thanks a million for the offer - I'll trek around here a bit more & see if I can find them, if not, I may take you up on it! Thanks so much xx

I've actually been using the dry shredded wheat more than anything else, just as a snack.< /p>

I got my Benefiber tablets today and just took 2 of them. They have a nice orangy flavor, but a weird texture. But for 6 grams of soluble fiber in 2, I'll get past the texture.

Kellygirl, my bottle says that the serving size is 3 tablets and 3 grams of fiber per serving(not per tablet). So, for me, that means each tablet is 1 gram of fiber.
