Product Description
Heather's Tummy Fiber™ ~ 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 Fiber™ 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 Fiber™ 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 Fiber™ 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.

 Tends to get clumpy w/over a tablesoon. July 25, 2008

Dissovles nicely w/a tsp or less but tends to clump with a Tbs. We haven't used it long enough to note improvement in our daughters stomach pain but will continue to try it...
 Didn't help - possibly made worse June 13, 2008

Heather's Tummy Fiber CAN ~ Organic Acacia 16 oz. CANISTER
I have tried this product several times. I doesn't seem to help regulate me and in fact several times after taking it I've had several cramps and gas pains the following day. The peppermint tabs don't seem to help much either. I do better with Metamucil.
 Still not sure June 6, 2008

I think my symptoms may be more problematic than normal, as nothing seems to help. And I don't know if this product would help or not because it's such a pain to use that I haven't been able to stick with it.
The big problem is how horribly it dissolves in liquid. It's a big production of having to mix it just so - you have to, essentially, mix as you are pouring in the liquid, hot or cold, with a fork (a spoon doesn't seem to work well), otherwise it doesn't really dissolve at all, just gums up. Even doing it as instructed it still doesn't dissolve easily. It says to wait a few seconds, and then restir until all is dissolved.
I found it takes a few stirrings over a few minutes to get it to dissolve even when done as instructed. Try to vary from the instructions and you're likely to get gummy chunks that don't dissolve at all.
Most powders meant to dissolve in liquids aren't even close to being this finicky.
I'm guessing it would help to some degree, but it's just too much of a hassle, and I never noticed any improvement even when I did use it.

I was diagnosed with IBS two months ago after roughly six months of having *no idea* what the HECK was wrong with me -- Horrible constipation and gas for months on end. I was at the end of my rope. My doctor gave me a print-out about IBS that was last edited in 1994. Not much help. I found Heather's site and purchased the acacia fiber. It was about a week before I saw any results, but when I did, WOW! I feel 1000x better then I have in almost a year. My constipation is about 80% gone; I still have some bad days but overall I feel great. It lessoned my gas dramatically, but hasn't completely eliminated it as of yet -- I'm thinking of trying the fennel tea next. If anyone is reading this and wondering "Can it help me?" YES! You should give it a try. I felt myself slipping into depression over my inability to control my body. It was really awful. I feel as if this fiber saved my sanity. I never had pain, but I had plenty of embarrassment and no matter how much time I spent in the gym my stomach was always bloated and distended. I was too young to feel so old (39) I feel as if I have my life back under control. I cannot say enough about Heather's website or her products.
