Got my life back... Feb 14, 2005
By K. D. Menell 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.

Amazing and Safe Treatment for IBS Jul 30, 2006
By C. W. Atwood 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.

Took care of my diarrhea and constipation! Jul 20, 2005
By SamuelKJ 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?!

Worsened my IBS Dec 13, 2006
By Gerri
"Gerri16801"
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.

Best help for my constipation ever! Jul 15, 2005
By Avalon 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!
