I use benefiber and I take 4tbsp a day in two doses of 2tbsp each. I usually dissolve the first dose in my hot tea in the a.m but the second dose I dissolve in food in p.m. to reduce risk of excess gas. I also take a calcium pill on top of my multi vitamin b/c I can't do the soymilk unless I am cooking with it, but I can't drink it straight. I discussed this my GI and she said I should be getting enough calcium this way. But you have to be careful b/c I know that a certain type of calcium causes D. (I don't remember if you said if your C or D, but just be careful.) I am IBS-D and I think I take calcium carbonate?? You can do a search on the boards to make sure which calcium is the best. Or maybe someone else knows.
