Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi Andrew - yes, no worries, the Acacia Tummy Fiber contains no FODMAPS at all. Acacia is a whole food, prebiotic soluble fiber that ferments very slowly in the gut.

Our fiber is completely unrelated to other prebiotics such as inulin and FOS, which are by-products of food manufacturing processes. Inulin and FOS ferment very rapidly in the gut and can cause terrible bloating and gas.

The Tummy Fiber has a certificate of analysis from our raw materials supplier verifying that the acacia senegal does not contain, nor is it related to foods that do contain:

Fructans
Galactans
Polyols
Fructose
Lactose

We have a formal statement from our acacia supplier (they own and harvest the orchards, and do all of the processing of the raw gum - they're the oldest and largest acacia supplier in the world) confirming that our Tummy Fiber is FODMAPS free.

Tummy Fiber has a "good gastrointestinal tolerance" because it is so unlikely to cause gas and bloating. It is a prebiotic, but unlike FOS and inulin, acacia ferments very slowly in the gut, which creates an environment that encourages the growth of healthy gut bacteria and actively reduces gas and bloating with regular use.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
