I was recommended to take benefiber. but i'm not sure as to how to include it in my daily diet. any tips would be appreciated, thank you!

With meals: Take the recommended dose with meals and with plenty of liquids. In order for fiber to work, you need to have adequate liquid. That would be at least 20 ounces of fluids- at least three times a day.
