hey all, i'm starting a fiber supplement and and read all i could here about them. unfortunately i missed one important line about *not* buying benefiber tablets b/c they have sorbitol...and of course thats the one i picked up at the store :P
has anyone had any problems with these? are they a really bad stimulant? i've started low and haven't had any adverse effects but i'm thinking of just picking up the citrucel pills and not risking a reaction :P
this website is highly informative tho....since finding it i've sorted thru my diet and am still keeping track of foods that cause reactions. thanks

I wouldn't risk it, personally, but that's up to you. Unfortunately, trigger foods/chemicals are kind of a personal thing - it's possible that the sorbitol won't bother you, but you won't know unless you try it... and, of course, if you do try it and you have a reaction, you're stuck with a container of tablets you can't use.  I would probably return them and get something else, rather than risk it.
Watch out for those citrucel pills... they're convenient, but you end up having to take a LOT of them on a daily basis to get your recommended fiber.
Good luck!
