If I had to chose between those two I would pick the Benefiber. Not that I like the fact that is is a wheat derivative but for sure I would not want to ingest the Maltodextrin in the Metamucil.

the dextrin in the Benefiber is similar to the maltdextrin in Metamucil.

Is it really? Then I would have to look for a third alternative. Thanks Megs

It may have 4-5 total carbs, but look at the amount of fiber each product contains----the net carbs are essentially 0.

Oh about Benefiber...... When it first came out, it was hydrolyzed guar gum, a gum thickener agent. I bought and used it in experiments for thickening sauces, etc. It worked and it didn't have that slimy texture other gums had. Then the company changed the product to wheat dextrin---because guar gum was too expensive. The concern has been what if you are sensitive to wheat. From what I recall, this product isn't on the gluten free lists for people with celiac disease. So it's something to think about if you are wheat intolerant or may have a wheat sensitivity.
