Benefibre/Benefiber

[Brunetteandred]

There's a bl**dy shortage or summat! Lloyds used to stock it and have now stopped.

Does anyone know if Tesco or anywhere else does?

Boots don't!

Fibersure and benefiber are made from the same stuff soluble vegetable fiber....

What is Wheat Dextrin?
Wheat Dextrin is a natural soluble fibre. Wheat Dextrin is considered "Gluten-Free" which means it contains only a trace amount of gluten ( i.e., less than 10 ppm gluten). Unlike some fibre supplements, Benefiber® made with Wheat Dextrin dissolves completely in water and won't thicken

I've never even heard of it let alone know where they sell it .............. lol.

It might be made from the same stuff but in my opinion it doesn't dissolve anywhere near as well as Benefibre. I tried it a few times as I'd bought a big tub of it but in the end it went in the bin, and I am the queen of frugal!

 

[wannaloose18stone]

Ooooooo a queen !!!! lol. Is Frugal a nice place? pmsl.

 

[Mrs_CakeyBun]

Never had any problems with it disolving for me.....horses for courses I guess

Have u tried psyllium husks from GNC.

Its is fantastic....softer stools...jelly like poops...(Sorry for the description)

I found psyllium after a major colitis flare up and continue to use it...there is the lose form or capsules...I prefer the lose stuff as I can add it to drinks or shakes.

Hope it helps.

I find Benefibre tasteless and it dissolves completely. I had inulin based fibre when I did LL & CD and that lumps up.

SS, I presume you have no personal experience of comparison?

I put it in my flavoured water,cup a tea and on my ready brekand porridge and can not taste it
