Hi,

What version (i.e. UK/USA/Canadian?) of benefiber are you taking? I believe that the Canadian version contains a different type of soluble fibre. The version I use contains 100% wheat dextrin. This is a slow fermenting fibre. I certainly find that when I started/increase my dosage my distension and bloating worsen for 3-4 days. However, once adjusted to your present dose (which can take up-to a week or so), take it very slowly and try increasing your dosage until you stabilise.

Best wishes
