Heather's Tummy Fiberâ„¢ ~ Organic Acacia is a medical food for the dietary management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms. Acacia is a natural, pure, organic, soluble dietary fiber produced from the gum of the Acacia tree. Clinical studies have shown that soluble fiber, as part of the diet: helps soothe and regulate bowel motility; relieves IBS abdominal pain and cramping by stabilizing intestinal contractions; alleviates BOTH diarrhea and constipation. Heather's Tummy Fiberâ„¢ also: increases good gut flora - it's considered a prebiotic; has excellent gastrointestinal tolerance; and slows down colonic fermentation, which in turn decreases gas and bloating. Heather's Tummy Fiberâ„¢ is completely safe and healthy for daily, lifelong use, is safe for use in children, and has no GI irritants or stimulants. Soluble fiber will not compromise normal bowel function at all once it gets your IBS symptoms under control - it will simply keep things in that normal state. A soluble fiber supplement is meant to keep your GI tract running smoothly, comfortably, and pain-free on a day-to-day basis, now and forever. Heather's Tummy Fiberâ„¢ is NOT a drug, it is NOT a laxative, it is NOT an anti-diarrheal medication. Acacia is simply an organic, prebiotic soluble fiber supplement with absolutely nothing else added, and it normalizes bowel function naturally in the same manner as soluble fiber foods. Certified organic by QAI, vegan, and certified kosher. Contains no gluten, sugar, salt, corn, soy, or yeast.

Summary: No rating yet...but price is right
Comment: Sorry for the three-star rating, I couldn't post without stars even though I haven't used this yet. I appreciate all the reviews for this product. You have helped encourage me to try it. Citrucel was recommended to me but has too many calories from sugar, or is loaded with artificial sweeteners/flavorings/colorings. If I take 2 servings of a 60 calorie supplement, I've already consumed 10% of my daily calorie allowance! Not acceptable! Not to mention it is insoluble fiber and I want to use soluble.
To answer the one negative review, I calculated the cost per teaspoon of Heather's Tummy fiber versus the Fibersure (using the Amazon price PLUS shipping). The fibersure may look cheaper because it is in smaller containers, but the price per dose is actually better on the Tummy fiber. Tummy Fiber calculated to .11 (USD) per dose, Fibersure calculates to .32 (USD) per dose (rounded to the nearest penny).
I will write a real review once I've tried it.

Summary: Miracle Product
Comment: I've been using this product for many months. My IBS-C is so much better! Taking Tummy Fiber doesn't make me nauseated like the medication my G.I. doctor prescribed for constipation. All my other symptoms of IBS are also better. I can't say enough great things about this product!

Summary: Instant relief
Comment: I tend to have random IBS attacks. Some days I feel great and can eat salad with no problem, other days I'm lucky if I can get a piece of plain bread down. I've found that the Acacia fiber works the best of all the supplements I've tried, hands down. The peppermint caps exacerbate my symptoms, while the fennel tea only helps sporadically.
I usually have a teaspoon in the morning with my juice and another at night. I've also used it during the day whenever I bloat after eating. The bloating and pain disappear almost immediately - after 10-15 minutes I feel like a human being again. I've also incorporated into recipes, as suggested by the [...] website. I keep a pouch of it in my purse at all times and pull it out at restaurants to put into my water. It takes about 3-7 minutes to dissolve completely - after that, you won't even notice it.
Thanks to the Acacia fiber, I can eat Greek and Thai food again. I tend to think of it as my "magic powder".

Summary: Even healthy digestive systems benefit
Comment: I first bought Heather's Tummy Fiber in the hope it would help with a digestive disease I have (it is recommended for IBS sufferers, which isn't what I have, but soluble fiber helps with my disorder too). After using it with excellent results for a few weeks, I decided to add it to the morning smoothy our family drinks every weekday morning. Its taste and texture aren't noticeable, so no one objected. Everyone benefits from added fiber in the diet - it regulates the transit time of food through the digestive tract, stabilizes blood sugar levels, moderates cholesterol, and everyone in the family is doing very well with this gentle and reliable product. As long as Heather's company markets it, we'll be happy customers.

Summary: Great for IBS
Comment: Heather's Tummy Fiber has been the best solution to my IBS. At first it made my tummy more gassy and crampy until my body adjusted. I used this along with reading her book and website articles and found I needed to cut more fatty foods from my diet as well as some other diet and lifestyle changes. Combining the good advice with this product has all but ended years of suffering with IBS. I found it mixes nicely with clear juice or water. With plenty of stirring, it disolves well. I now take 2 t. before every meal and it has changed my life. I even carry some in my purse. I can dine out without running directly to the bathroom after. Highly recommended.
