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.

 So far so good...! October 14, 2008
I love how easy this tummy fiber is to use and incorporate into foods and recipes. I have been using it now for over 2 weeks and just started doubling my dose from the original "start dose" on the package. This is my first purchase/try of Acacia Tummy Fiber, but I ordered just the 1lb refill bag because it was cheaper than the canister. I just keep the opened bag sealed with a clip and in a ziploc bag. I try to use it every day. So far I haven't seen any major problems or felt any problems. I have been more regular than usual, too. I have suffered from IBS for almost 10 years now and I am very pleased by Heather's books, website, and now her tummy fiber, too. My usual symptoms are less severe also. I can't wait to see how things progress as I increase my dosage.
Helping me a LOT August 11, 2008
I've stopped using a couple of prescription drugs (in consultation with my doctor) by following a careful regimen that includes this Acacia fiber product.
Tasteless, mixes well, I add about 200 mg to yogurt in the morning with a dab of fruit juice on top. That's kept me going for three weeks, a great improvement so far.

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.
 didn't work for me July 2, 2008
I had high hopes for this product but it didn't help me, just caused the same painful bloating as all the other fibers I have tried in the past. I won't be using it again.
Miracle Product May 1, 2008
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!
