I have not heard of any problems. It is found in many processed foods as a thickener. In Canada Benefibre is still made with inulin. I have no idea why they don't use the wheat dextrin formulation used in the US and UK. I suspect they choose PHGG for the Rifaximin study because it has been used in many other studies.

I don't believe that PHGG would be the only SF that might show a benefit when used with Rifaximin for controlling SIBO. I suspect that any SF with good prebiotic effects might work just as well.
