That is very interesting. The ingredients they list are Psyllium Husk, Gelatin, Polysorbate 80, Caramel Color, Red 40 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake and Citric Sucrose. The only fiber containing ingredient is the psyllium.

I gave the toll free number a call. In fact this product contains 2.4 grams of SF and the remaining 0.6 grams is IF. So you are right - it does contain some IF.

The interesting thing about calling the hotline was they tried to encourage me to try Fibersure made from inulin. Wow - not a good SF for IBSers. AND the Metamucil wafers contain 5 grams of fat and well as fructose. Strange what products are being sold to help with IBS
