Does anyone know if taking the recommended dose of Benifiber impacts our absorption of vitamins and iron supplements?

Researching on the Internet was of no help!

Thanks!

I take fiber everyday and have no vitamin deficiencies.

yes it may. It is important to take vitamins /minerals away from fiber.  Fiber may prevent absorption of vitamins/ minerals.

Call your surgeon's office. The doctor or nutritionist can probably give you an accurate answer.
