A member asked:
Can benefiber be used as part of a low glycemic diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hi. You bet! And most Americans need more fiber. You can get fiber from the appropriate food sources, but many of them also have digestible carbohydrates/sugars. Benefiber has no digestible carbohydrates/sugars, so would be fine in a low glycemic index diet.
