If I am already taking fiber, Benefiber tabs, 2 times a day how much powder would you recommend to start with or even switch?

You always start with 1/2t and no more. If your body is accustomed it will be able to handle rises in the amount more frequently. I was taking many fibercon when starting acacia and started low 1/2t and just went up steadily.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
