Good morning doctors. My gastroenterologist wants me to take 1 tablespoon of Benefiber daily with breakfast and with dinner. Can I take the chewables instead? (less expensive) In what do I mix the Benefiber? Can I mix Benefiber in coffee/hot liquids?

A member asked:

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?
