Benifiber: Fiber intake is beneficial if you are having constipation. Goal of 25-30 grams of fiber per day. You can consume about 10-15 grams of fiber through your diet and the other 10-15 grams via fiber supplement. Remember to titrate to goal. If start out too high can cause abdominal discomfort. Continue present regimen and you can use fiber on a daily basis.

Good morning doctors! I have once in awhile but somewhat consistent bouts of constipation. My Dr. suggested Benefiber daily along with taking Miralax or Colace. Assuming this works, how do I know when it's ok to reduce or stop these, or do I not stop?
