Anyone have experience with cellulose dietary fiber? I apologize for continuously asking questions. I've been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease & some of the products I'm told that is safe to use with kidney disease I'm not sure would not cause seizures. A lot of these fiber products use chemicals in processing which is not safe for me but there is no side effects listed on the labels. Thanks again!
 
Hello. I have been using Benefiber on a daily basis as a fiber supplement for about 5 years. Despite eating a high fiber diet & drinking about a 1/2 gallon of water/day, I still have problems with constipation. I didn't like Metamucil because it makes you bloated.
One AED I take cause constipation, & requires me to drink a lot of water to prevent kidney stones. I take Topiramate & Zonisamide--400mg/day each.
 
Thank you very much! Metamucil not only made my constipation worse it added more problems. I drink a lot of water but it doesn't seem to help any. I appreciate your help more than you can know!
