I have tried Benefiber and I find it stabilizes me more.
With Citrucel it actual promotes me to have more bowel movements as to diarrhea and then causes excess cramps. My doctor highly recommended the Citrucel. I had never really asked about the others until I got to this board and brought Heather's book and there is a section in the Month2 about Soluble Fibers that I have a question, maybe someone can answer if not answered already.

On page 163 she writes

"Make sure that your soluble fiber supplements are not the sugar-free variety as artificial sweeteners can cause diahrrhea in sensitive people." This is from the book of the First Year of IBS and I was reading the Benefiber canister and it says that it is sugar free. I am confused as this does not cause excess diahrrhea but the Citrucel does. So I am confused. What do you think, am I interpreting this wrong?
