The ingredients, under nutritional information, in the oatmeal link you post are as follows:
WHOLE GRAIN ROLLED OATS (WITH OAT BRAN), SUGAR, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, SALT, CALCIUM CARBONATE, GUAR GUM, OAT FLOUR, CARAMEL COLOR, NIACINAMIDE*, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, REDUCED IRON, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE*, RIBOFLAVIN*, THIAMIN MONONITRATE*, FOLIC ACID*.
The bran has been added back in to increase the fiber and it contains natural and artificial flavorings. You want to avoid all cereal bran which included oat bran and artificial flavors. I believe the same thing is true of most Quaker instant oatmeal.
Have a look at regular and quick oatmeal. Notice they only contain rolled oats with no added bran. I use the regular but the quick look just as good.
Something I use as a snack are plain matzo - essentially they are very large cracker made from flour, salt and water. They are usually available in the Kosher section of the grocery store.
I presume you are using the plain Benefiber not the orange flavored. I would follow the instruction on the label but 3 tablespoons spread over a day sounds reasonable.
