Ok so I have a Question.........


Does anyone Know which of these works Better???

Benefiber?

Fiber One?

Metamucil?

I've been a little backed Up:o Lately, & I would like know which one is best to take, I tried taking Metamucil for about a week but there was lots of Sugar & Cals in that, So I found some Sugar Free and it's Horrible & it's lumpy it doesent dissolve like the other stuff!

Thanks in Advance for your Help!

Hi Cathy :wave: I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrom), and fiber powder helps me with that. I used Benefiber. It can't be mixed with everything...I usually just add it to water and mix it up REALLY good so there are no chunks.

Adding it to bottled water is easy, just use a funnel (make sure theres no water on the funnel and the powder can go in the water completely dry), put the lid back on and shake it up really good. I don't even taste it.

Some things I can't add it to are soup, milk, etc, anything that has a thicker consistancy will make it clump up and you'll taste the icky sweet powder, lol.

It can be baked into stuff though, like if I make something just for myself I'll add some with the rest of the ingrediants and just bake it right in.

Good luck and hope it helps! :)

make sure not to go overboard on it though because too much of that stuff can have the same effect as none of it! it's all about balance.

Oh my Gosh Fiber One is Ceral:laugh::rofl: Duh!

Anyways Thanks for the Response's Ladies!

yes it is a cereal but oh my does it work lol ;)

Hmm - maybe you were thinking of Fibre Sure - I add it too my water - it has 5 calories and 3 grams of fibre per serving. I add 1 serving in each litre of water I drink - it complety dissolves and I can't taste any difference.

I use benefiber, and like Emily said, it can be mixed into most everything. I mix it into my oatmeal in the am before I heat it, I put it in my waterbottles, in just about anything. I did try to put it into oatmeal after heating it up the other day, and I got a big clump of it, rock solid! So just be careful about how you add it!

I use either Benefiber or Fibersure (sp?).

Good idea about putting in waterbottles.

Works well in recipes.

For me, Metamucil works better with my body, but I like the way Benefiber mixes.
One day I decided to try dry mixing half Metamucil & half Benefiber then adding water. No more Metamucil chuncks or lumps! Best of both worlds. I'm happy now!!!
