Hello everyone. I am wondering for those of you who take Benefiber if you could maybe help me out a little. I am just about out of my Citrucil and would like to give Benefiber a try, seeing as my C is still giving me some grief and I am staying safe with the diet. With both Metemucil and Citrucil I had a scoop in the morning and at night. Should I do the same with the Benefiber? Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Dosage is the same for both. You want to work up to 2T twice daily - with LOTS of water.
I really love Benefiber, so if you try it let us know what you think.

Thank you as always for your super speedy reply and actually give this one a try! Do you know if we can buy it in bulk at Costco?

Oooh, I don't know. The stuff is expensive, so that's a good idea. I think I might have just seen it there - pretty sure but not 100%.

The next time I or my grandma makes a run to costco, will check and let you know. It's not cheap is it. I am also going to check on Beano. I am thinking I need to take some while on holiday in June and not sure if the they sell it in the UK. Over there you have to go to the Chemist for everything.

Sheri - Benefiber gave me "wonderfully powerful gas". I only took it once and I never wanted to go back for more!

PS - it might be different for you, tho.

Sheri - I know they have it at Wal-Mart and it's cheaper than at the drug store. Don't go to Costco very often--it's 1-1/2 hrs drive from here.

I have been taking Benefiber and love it. Metamucil made me bloat up like a balloon, but the Benefiber has been much more gentle (for me anyways).
Good luck with it!

I found Benefiber at Costco here in Reno, Nevada. Since I had a similar reaction as Sharon I only used it twice and changed back to metamucil. :-) Good luck finding it where you live.

Believe it or not I came home from Costco a few minutes ago and found the post asking about Costco/Benefiber and I had just picked some up. It was $18.49 for 11.3 oz, 80 (1Tb each) servings. Hope that helps!
