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.

Tummy Fiber is one of the few dietary fibers that actually works for my constipation -- and that also does *not* create gas and bloating (due to fermenting) in my lower intestines. It may not be cheap, but it took me two months of testing other brands and fiber types (since my normal brand, Citrucel, was taken off the market), to find this particular combination of efficacy and lack of side effects (gas). The taste is somewhat bland, so I like to add a few packets of Crystal Light lemonade drink powder to perk up the taste. Another positive aspect of Tummy Fiber is that it is non-viscous, so it doesn't feel like you're swallowing a glassful of liquid goo!

This product is worth your consideration. Honestly it does work and it is easy to use. It dissolves in water and tastes like water. Amazon had it delivered to me here in Australia in such a short time I was amazed. For most of my life I have suffered from IBS and other tummy discomforts. I have struggled to make sure I take in enough soluable fiber but not anymore. I strongly recommend this product to anyone considering it.

I've been taking this now for over a month. I still have gas, just not as bad and not as often. The last few weeks I have eaten lots of leftover halloween candy and feel a little bloated but the Heather's fiber really helps. I will keep buying!

Thanks to Heather's Tummy Fiber Organic Acacia Powder I have not felt this good since before my IBS. I have very little stomach pain and have regular bowel movements. I definetaly recomend this fiber.

I have suffered from Irritable Bowel(IBS) for the last 18 years )have tried a litany of products to minimize the symptoms. So let me be clear when I say, NOTHING, but Nothing works better to manage the symptoms of IBS than this singular product (I've used the product for 9 years now). That said, at a minimum, it must be used at least twice a day (morning & evening) to derive any benefit. Otherwise, your results will be haphazard and mixed at best.

Additionally, you'll derive further benefit if you can avoid your trouble foods (everyone is different... for me the worst culprit is High Fructose Corn Syrup, the most vile product ever added to the American Food Supply). You'll also derive more benefit if you keep your intestinal flora balanced. To do so, take a product like PB8 (a ProBiotic Acidophilus) conveniently sold here: PB 8 120 caps. Take it the same two times a day you do the Acacia fiber.

Lastly, I'll comment to those who complain about the difficulty mixing the fiber with water. One, it helps immensely to put the product in before you add the water (counterintuitive I know). Two, You're not limited to mixing it with a liquid. Sprinkle it on your cereal. Put it on your Spaghetti. Its pretty tasteless and won't alter the taste of any of your meals. The point is to get it into your system so it can do its work. For those who think its too much trouble, I'd ask what is more inconvenient. The 20 seconds spent mixing it with water or the 2 hours you're going to spend locked in the bathroom groaning and hating your life? The math is pretty simple from where I stand.

So, give it a try. Follow the directions, use it regularly and you WILL FIND RELIEF. Promise.

I have used many products for my bowels over the years and have never found anything to work as good as HEATHERS TUMMY FIBER.Wish i could have found it MANY,MANY years ago.Thank you.

I get great results using a big spoonful of this and a big spoonful of organic psyllium powder in an 8 oz. smoothie every morning. Definately helps keep the colon clean.

have used this product for years--anyone with ibs will be thrilled to see what a difference this product will make in their health--cannot reccommend it highly enough===really works wonders=======

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.
