The directions from my clinic say to consume 25 gr of Benifiber a day. I am still on pre op diet (surgery 4/16/15) and my body won't tolerate that much Benifiber. Horrible you know what for a day.

The directions on the package say 2tsp=3gr Fiber. Thus by my calculations that's 17tsp's of Benifiber a day. I divided that amount equally between two 32oz Water bottles so that I would be getting on my 64 oz of water a day.

Anyone else take Benifiber in pre op and post op phases? How much Benifiber do you take?

Why wouid you if not constipated? I didn't have a pre-op diet so can't comment on that and post-op I DID take it. But only because I became constipated. Here in the UK, our equivalent Fybogel comes in singie dose sachets to dissolve in Water and during my early losing stage, I took one sachet morning and night because if I didn't, I became constipated. I even needed to take a stool softener as well.

Benefited can't be quite the same as Fubogel though as one of my sachets contains around 1-2 teaspoons in it, so that Is a max of 4 tsps a day.

But although common, not everyone has thus problem. It seems logical to me that if your digestive system is working normally, adding fire is only going to cause discomfort.

Silly typos and my iPad won't let me edit! Adding fibre not fire!!!!
