I have been taking Benefiber daily for the past three years (for irregularity). I have noticed that as time goes by, I must increase the amount each day if I am to have similar success. Don't know why, but I am worried that taking too much might not be healthy for me.

I really just came on this usually informative website to research this product. Has this company threatened a lawsuit against webmd? Do you have convictions about not giving info about this product? The lack of information you provide about this product is amazing. What give?

First week, noticed more bm's and frequent trips to the bathroom. Second week, extreme bm's with diarrhea and flatulence. Lots of trips to the bathroom and lots of flatulence. Second week lots of abdominal pain as well. I am not taking this any more as it causes too many problems with my gut.
