Re: Heather is slippery elm soluble fiber?       01/20/04 01:46 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - I think you're probably right about the Canadian labeling. There's often a lot of differences between how the exact same product has to be labeled in the US and Canada. And I've found that for dietary and herbal supplements, the FDA sometimes has labeling requirements that don't even really match the product itself. The best example of this is the soluble fiber supplements that market themselves as laxatives (like Citrucel or Metamucil) that are required to put all sorts of warning and cautions on their label that don't even apply to soluble fiber - they're only applicable to stimulant laxatives. But the FDA doesn't distinguish between the two. Canada may have some guidlines comparable to this. Oddly, I had heard from a Canadian manufacturer that the only two products Canada allows to be labeled as fiber are psyllium and inulin, and this is why products like Citrucel and Benefiber aren't sold in Canada. I don't know if this is true but it's interesting. Was your Canadian Acacia labeled as a soluble fiber? - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
