Why, Benefiber, why?
So here's a little background... I'm frequently constipated, and don't tolerate laxatives very well. Even when taking just half a dose, I conclusion up with bad cramps and diarrhea, so I try to steer clear of them. I be looking for something better to help me cope with my problem, and settled to try Benefiber. I looked up reviews and found no complaints. The company that makes Benefiber even describes it as a gentle alternative to oblige you stay regular without causing any side effects resembling cramping or diarrhea. I thought it was simply a fiber supplement. I must have be wrong. Yesterday, around this time, I took the powder form that disolves in liquid... 2 teaspoons (as is recommended on the vertebrae of the bottle). By the evening, I was having nagging cramps contained by my abdomen. They continued throughout the rest of the night, and when I get up this morning, I immediately went to the restroom. It wasn't pretty. The cramps get worse throughout the day until I felt close to someone was being conspicuously vicious to my insides. I can only compare it to what I imagine it might discern like to have someone tirelessly tie knots in your entrails, insubstantial them on fire, and then proceed to stomp them into the ground wearing soccer cleats. It be MUCH MUCH worse than ANY harsh laxative I have EVER taken. One time I even took a double dose of laxative (not knowing any better) and it wasn't as discouraging as this. I could not even BEGIN to guess how many times I might have visit the restroom today. I'm still feeling the effects even now, though I come across to be on the downslope, thank god.
So, what I really want to know is, has anyone experienced anything similar after taking this product? It can't be just me. Why haven't I found any other complaints, and why within the world did Benefiber do this to me?
Answer: It sounds like you have a exceedingly sensitive digestive system and you just don't need laxative medication
I know I'm not answering great - but hearing what's wrong, I think you'd be better a moment ago having a few more foods that help near that.
When I get constipated a few prunes (3-5) usually helps alot (sometimes a few more), and honey is also a inherent laxative. Products like laxatives leave you bloated and cramped and clear you just feel awful!
other tricks are really cold dampen (this does work!) and pure, cold orange juice - oh! and oranges!
once again sorry I didnt enjoy the answer about the benefibre - but i hope the other stuff help atleast!

I also suffer from constipation. I tried Benefiber and adjectives it caused was cramps and gas. It didn't take home my go to the bathroom at all. I also tried Miralax 3 days contained by a row and it didn't help. I take a vitamin day after day and feel that helps label the constipation worse, but what do you do? I need the vitamin and I need to shift to the bathroom. I would say that people don't similar to this product but are too embarrassed to talk nearly it. If you don't know why you're frequently constipated you should see a doctor. It's not normal. I take it because it's a convenient opening to get extra fiber in my diet. It doesn't product me go at all.
You may hold IBS or some other gastric problems. It really sounds like you do. The Benefiber doesn't normally do that..
As the husband of this chick, I hold to agree with what's-it directly above me: it's psychosomatic. She enjoys the attention. :)
Try Alka-Seltzer.
I a short time ago want to let you guys know that Playboy Mommy is verbally abuse me right now. :P hahahahahahaha.
Might be psychosomatic. See your family physician. I am truley and honestly srry for what is taking place to u.
