Benefiber as you say is made from wheat dextrin. SFS made from wheat dectrin have been shown to produce less intestinal gas that other SF. Although starch for producing dextrin is extracted from wheat it could just of easily have been extracted from corn, potatoes or barley. And wheat dextrin in Benefiber is known to be okay for people with celiac disease.

Personally, I would give the Benefiber a try and see how it works for you. I had hoped that formulation of Benefiber available in Canada would be made from wheat dextrin - unfortunately it now made from inulin which is known to produce intestinal gas.
