March 13, 2018 from the Kosherquest:
The product "Benefiber", produced by Glaxco Smith Kline is made from wheat dextrin and is Chometz. However, another similar product called "Nutrisource Benefiber" is made in Israel by Norartis and is Kosher for Pesach. This Israeli brand of Benefiber contains guar gum rather than wheat dextrin and therefore can be used on Pesach.
