Just came across an interesting article that suggested using rice bran as a form of safe fiber. I haven't seen any posts about this. Has anyone used this and does it work? I'm always looking for a fiber that doesn't cause the gas and bloating. I've tried the acacia as well as some commercial brands with no luck.

Rice bran is insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber from cereal grains such as rice is known to exacerbate IBS symptoms. Best to avoid insoluble fiber supplements and stick with soluble fiber supplements. Have you tried Benefiber made containing wheat dextrin?

oh...good to know...I was thinking rice was safe.
I haven't tried Benefiber as I thought this was a wheat product. I eat gluten free but their website says it is considered gluten free with less than 20 ppm of gluten. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm not celiac just basically eat gluten free for health reasons.

While white rice is safe - rice bran isn't and brown rice can be tolerated by some people with IBS, particularly those that are IBS-C. Yep - Benefiber is definitely considered to be gluten free since wheat dextrin is just an extract from wheat without the gluten.

The only two SF supplements I've been able to tolerate are Benefiber and Fibercon. I take Fibercon with me in my purse and use Benefiber powder at home and the kind that comes in powder sticks in my drinks when I'm out. Benefiber is the only SF supplement I've been able to tolerate in pretty high daily doses (I try to get 25-30 g SF a day). You might give it a try...it's clear in water and doesn't have a taste. Make sure and get the unflavored "clear" kind that only has wheat dextrin as an ingredient, because the "sugar free" kind has an artificial sweetener. Good luck!
