Have you tried something else other than benefiber? She might just not be taking to that one. Also, did you start at a VERY low dose and increase it very slowly?
You can also try equalactin, citrucel, acacia. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get on the right supplement. I would start at less than half the recommended dose for your daughter, and increase it by 1/4 tsp once or twice a week at most. To do it too fast can cause the bloating and diarrhea you speak of.
