Tried Benefiber ~ Guar Gum       03/26/03 08:26 AM Edit Reply Quote Karin Reged: 02/11/03 Posts: 483 Loc: Southern California I tried about 1/2 teaspoon of Benefiber and had a bad reaction to it. Stomach pains, gas and diarrhea. I called my friend who is a pseudo expert on foods and she told me that the ingredient in Benefiber (GUAR GUM) causes those side effects in some people. I looked in some items I had in the cupboard and they had Guar Gum in them also. So, anyone who has a reaction to Benefiber, keep a look out for Guar Gum as an additive in prepared foods. I liked the way it didn't taste and didn't gel up, but too bad for me! Back to Psyllium. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
