Hi - I don't know why your GI doc would push Benefiber - go ahead and ask him. Sometimes it's just that docs stick with what they are familiar with, though usually that means they push psyllium.

The same reason why dentists recommend Oral B; they are familiar with it, know other doctors like it, don't look into anything else and probably receive free stuff from the name brand.

--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
