I've dealt with IBS for over 8 years. When it had gotten so bad I couldn't leave the house anymore, I decided enough was enough. I did a search for IBS and found Heather's website. I ordered the Acacia (Tummy Fiber) right away, then later the books. The fiber is wonderful! It doesn't get gritty, and you can add it to soft foods as well, like applesauce. There is NO taste or texture to it at all, as is it completely soluble. Just make sure you put the fiber in a glass first, then add the liquid, stirring with a fork. If for some reason it doesn't mix all the way, which is rare, just let it sit for a few minutes. I also have been on the diet, and am using her peppermint capsules. And now, I CAN LEAVE THE HOUSE!!! I can venture away from the bathroom like a normal person. I have my life back.
And the Acacia helps all three types of IBS. I just wish I would had found it sooner.

It also ships quickly, just one more plus. I can't say enough good things about Heather and her products. I'm ordering more right now. Give it a try, don't let IBS hold you hostage anymore. You won't regret trying the Acacia.

My IBS symptoms (mixed) reemerged horribly after having to discontinue a serotonin-based antidepressant due to a rash. I had weeks of incredibly painful symptoms and nothing worked, not even medication from the doctor. I was taking Fibercon caps which did no good. In desperation I tried a low dose of acacia powder and also later, one peppermint capsule a day. A complete turnaround occurred in just a few days, also helped by suggestions on the helpforibs.com website, and I have been doing well ever since. Based on the timeframe,it appears the acacia powder was the most significant agent. I am a complete skeptic so I can tell you this was not a placebo effect. I didn't think it would work and when it did, I was surprised and so grateful.

I love this stuff! It took me the better part of a month to really see noticeable results, but ever since then I'm going to the bathroom not just once, but twice a day. Only someone who has suffered with IBS for years can understand how thrilling this is. I wasn't sure if this was helping me at first, so I emailed the company, and Heather herself actually wrote me back! It turned out I just needed to keep gradually increasing my dose, and that did the trick. Patience and persistence were worth it in this case - I will never give up my Tummy Fiber!

Ever since I was a little kid I've had stomach problems, cramps, and I alternate between constipation and diarrhea. When I was in my twenties I was finally told I have IBS, and that I should take psyllium. I tried that and got bloating so bad I looked pregnant (and I'm a man). Acacia for me is a miracle. No bloating, no gas. It just stops my diarrhea and keeps me from getting constipated. I've been using it for several months right now, and I couldn't be happier. I keep some at work, some at home, and I travel with it too. This stuff is amazing - why didn't they have this for me years ago?!

An IBS sufferer almost my entire life, I found Heather's website the most useful tool ever invented in the management of IBS. Her practical examples and thorough explanations were more productive than all the doctors I've ever consulted put together (and there have been many). Unfortunately, the Acacia Tummy Fiber just did NOT work for me. I followed all the directions given to no avail. Every time I ingested the solution I felt like I was on the verge of an IBS attack with abdominal cramps and spasms. The store I had bought it at promised to give me store credit since I had already opened the package. I called Heather's office (1-206-264-8069) and they agreed to work with the store for a full refund.

So even though the product did not work FOR ME, I have a lot of respect for Heather's knowledge and useful experience that she shares with IBS sufferers.

I have had stomach problems for nearly my whole life (I am 43 now), but about 15 years ago, my problems got progressively worse. I tried a lot of remedies, but nothing worked. I was having constant stomach pain, gas, diarrhea, and I would have intestinal spasms when I ate almost anything. After trying out different probiotics, enzymes, supplements, fibers, and diets, I stumbled on Heather's Tummy Care. I was amazed that such an inexpensive product just worked! I worked my way up to 3 tablespoons per day, 2 in the morning and 1 for lunch. Now I rarely have any problems at all. I still had to be careful about eating certain foods (fried foods, high sugar content, certain sauces), but I can even eat those in moderation if I've taken my fiber first. I no longer have to worry about going out to lunch with co-workers and having to head directly to the bathroom or try to mask loud stomach churning. It really has had an impact on my life.

This acacia powder is soothing and much easier to take than psyllium husk powder. The best thing about ordering this "Tummy Fiber" was the information offered on Heather's website. Along with care in choice of foods, the Tummy Fiber makes life a lot better. It can be stirred into a glass of water or incorporated into any food, including baked goods.

I really was skeptical when I first ordered the product because there are so many things out there that just DON'T do what they say! Needless to say, I read all of the great reviews and decided to give it a go.

BOY am I glad I did!! It's absolutely like a miracle powder. The IBS symptoms are completely relieved! I haven't felt this good in a LONG time! The mixture itself is fantastic! It's absolutely TASTELESS. No grit. Nothing! I throw it in my mixer (the kind with the wire ball) and shake it with just water. (yes water and it tastes like nothing!!) This has made my system more regular, MUCH more comfortable and it's just fabulous! I can't tell you how pleased I am to have come across it.

You MUST try it. If you are serious about your digestion and have had problems in the past. Heather's Tummy Fiber is a life saver for us!!

Highly Recommend!

I love this product. I used it as recommended from the day1 and really started to feel the difference within a week. My IBS symptoms reduced considerably. I use it mixing with a couple of spoons of plain yogurt and love the taste also.

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!
