| No problem with the product |
| My problems are with the delivery - hold up and cost in our customs. These 2 bags now cost me £50 (they used to cost me £25) and the last twice I have incurred £13 costs and I just cannot afford it anymore so will not be purchasing any more. I am very sad and do not know what it will do to my guts but I cannot afford it anymore especially as I have been long term sick and our government are now stopping giving us benefit. |

Hello Patricia,
Thank you for your comments. We are thrilled to hear you are enjoying the Tummy Fiber Acacia Senegal!
I am so sorry you did not find the speed of delivery satisfactory. Normally orders to foreign countries take 3-7 business days. Sometimes, however, foreign orders are held up at Customs. It is very frustrating for us as well because it seems to be totally random as to whether Customs will hold an order and for how long. We have customers that order from us regularly for years without any complications and then out of the blue one of their packages will be detained for weeks on end.
It has been our experience that Customs can hold packages for 6-8 weeks sometimes. This doesn't happen to all packages, but occasionally especially with larger orders, it can happen. A delay like this is especially likely to happen when there are Customs fees due upon delivery. Sometimes orders will be held at the local post office, awaiting customer pick-up and payment of the Customs fees. This has actually happened in the past without the post office ever notifying the customer that their package was being held. So, you could check and see if your local post office does have the order for you. If things are held up in Customs, we just have to wait until they're finally processed through. All of their contact will be with you, so we never even know if Customs is holding a package until the customer passes this info along to us.
If you still have not received your order please let us know. We can provide you with tracking information right away.
My apologies, Joanna

| Will be perfect |
| Good Morning,
I've not opened or used the packets yet - have them ready for when we depart on our travels.....however, each day I use 1/2 a teaspoon from the large canister of Tummy Tamer while I'm at home.....I've come to rely on this product because it seems to have helped me greatly. The loose/liquid stools accompanied by cramps/sweats/nausea/residual discomfort has been "tamed". Things were most uncomfortable before and I frequently had to just lie down after a bathroom visit to allow my upset system to calm before continuing my day's activities. Now, I go without much thought - the urgency has not been solved and I still need to go twice usually before the day's activities and again in the afternoon - but now I have "shape" and hardly any discomfort at all. As our travels will be in places where things may be a bit primitive, these travel packets will be a life-saver for me - mitigating embarrassment and discomfort without having to use Imodium - a good product but 'gums' me up the other way!!!
Cheers, SFNagy |

| We both love acacia & the books. |
| I will be 76 next month, and have had IBS-diarrhea since I was pregnant with my fourth pregnancy,46 years ago. I finally found out four years ago that it was IBS, however the specialist had no idea how to treat it. He said it had nothing to do with food. I was looking up something for a friend on-line, & saw in the side scroll an add "Do you have IBS?" & your site. What a blessing. For the past six months I have been free of IBS, with watching my foods & using the Acacia. I also have the CD by Michael Mahoney. That is what started everything. Now my husband, age 83 has constipation, and using the acacia as well, has found it amazing. |

| Without Heather's website and Acacia I might've had to retire very early. Each year I was worse and worse, with IBS-C type. Four medical pros just told me to "eat more fiber, drink more water", which made things much worse. Acacia fiber, and Heather's diet, are the only things that really work, and work well. The books have been very helpful, too. THANK YOU for giving me back my dignity. |

| For about 28 years now, I've suffered IBS with severe constipation. I've been miserable all of my adult life. Your product seems to be helping, however, during my PMS phase, I still missed a couple of days movement. Hopefully, it's just because I haven't been taking the product long enough yet. But, the Fennel tea helped tremendously with the bloating, and gas---as there was hardly any which was a huge relief, and something very new and exciting for me. |

Along with the fact that an erroneous dx in an emergency room 20+ years ago resulted in a 4-days later life-saving surgery for a bowel obstruction; though I'd been told I had the 'flu' and was sent home. So, this case is not typical and this flare-up will take time. |

Hello Kathleen,
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are still having a lot of trouble.
It may take you several weeks to reach a daily dose of the Tummy Fiber to resolve you. Keep gradually increasing by 1/2 teaspoon every 4-5 days.
In the meantime you can find helpful diet tips on how to break the cycle of an attack: http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/faq.asp#break_cycle.
Also, Heather has some great articles on having celiac/gluten intolerance and IBS:

Hello Andrea,
I am so sorry you have not noticed results from the Tummy Fiber yet.
Depending on your symptoms, it may take several weeks to reach a resolving daily dose of the Tummy Fiber. Taking too much acacia too fast can cause increased gas and bloating. Acacia is one of the lowest gas-forming fibers out there and going slow makes the gas issue totally avoidable. Please be patient because this really does work.
We recommend starting with ½ teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon). You can split the daily dose up as many time as you like throughout the day, just divide it by 2 or 3 depending on the frequency you prefer. Try to increase the dose every 4th day or so by a teaspoon (add this to the daily dose). If you get increased gas and bloating by jumping the dose up by a teaspoon, try cutting this in half. Some people with IBS are so sensitive they have to go up at ¼ teaspoons every 4th day. Keep stepping up the dose every 4th day or so until you find a dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea. Constipation is usually resolved with a daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea/loose stools usually resolves at a lower dose of 1-3 tablespoons/day. You shouldn't take more than 5 tbsp/day. The maintenance dose is different for each person depending on their specific symptoms. Dietary changes are often necessary to make lasting changes. In the beginning until you stabilize, it works best to take the acacia before each meal to minimize the effect of trigger foods in the meal and to calm the intestines before the food arrives.
You may need to keep increasing your daily dose to notice more results. I will also personally email you to continue this conversation if you have further questions.
All the best, Joanna

Hello Janice,
I am so terribly sorry for the delay with your order. Delays like this are extremely unusual for us, and we are extremely upset that this has happened. We actually called and emailed the list of customers affected by this delay, and you certainly should have been on that list, so I truly apologize that were missed.
The travel packet machine line was down, and we thought we would be able to get it back up quickly but the problems spiraled out of control into a major rebuild. We had it back up in fits and starts and thought each day we would be ready to ship out orders, and then something else would break on the machine. We worked around the clock to fix all the problems.
The machine is now back up and running properly, and orders have all shipped out.
I truly apologize for the delay. Your order should have included a special promo code flyer that you can use for 25% off any future order of any items. I have also refunded the shipping you were charged for your order.
Again, my apologies for the unacceptable delay.
Best, Joanna

Hello Sally,

| Greatest Product Ever |
| For years I was told by doctors to eat fiber, broccoli, califlower, celery, apples, etc. For 20+ years I looked for every restroom in every building I entered. When I was 62, my mother told me her father had always peeled apples and called the skins poison. I was intriqued. I came across some literature by Heather and she said don't eat the skins. So I read on. I realized I had IBS. And I learned about soluble and insoluble fiber. I tried the acacia powder. It took 1 month but it changed my life.
I told my doctor and he apologized for telling me to gorge on the wrong fiber. He said, "We didn't know."
Well, if one has retired smart you dwell on the positive, not past mistakes.
There are days I get messed up, of course. But invariably those are the days I messed up my tummy fiber routine. I swear by the product. |

| It's working! |
| I tried an acacia fiber from the local health store first to see if it would work for my IBS. It did so I decided to order from Heather because it was less expensive bought in bulk even with shipping cost factored in. My Chiropractor also recommended plant enzymes because he felt that my food wasn't digesting but fermenting instead and causing gas 24/7. I started on them a week ago and I feel completely normal once again. So between the acacia fiber. probiotics, and plant enzymes plus avoiding gluten and following Heather's guide lines I have my life back! |

Hi Frank,
I'm so sorry you're having difficulty getting the Tummy Fiber to dissolve. The Tummy Fiber is certified organic, all natural gum of the acacia tree - also known as gum arabic. We have actually sourced the exact same organic Acacia Senegal grade from the same supplier from the time our company was founded. It is collected much like maple syrup, though the gum is more a solid than a liquid. They are amber colored, crystal-like pieces; these pieces are what the acacia gum looks like when it is collected from the outside of the tree. The gum is then dissolved in water, filtered, and the liquid is sprayed onto very large heated surfaces to sterilize the fiber and so the water can evaporate. What's left after the water evaporates is the fine, white powder that is acacia fiber.
There are no chemicals used in processing the acacia, and every step from the orchards to the processing to our packaging facility is certified organic. Because this is a natural gum with nothing added, and not a synthetic product that is highly processed, the grain size of the finished powder can vary from lot to lot, and even within a single lot. Even though we have specs in place for the grain size to be consistent and the optimum granularity for dissolving easily in liquids, during the packaging process the conveying and vibrating activities can sometimes separate out larger grains of the gum. This can result in a handful of finished packages of Tummy Fiber that have larger or more irregular grain sizes, which can then take longer to dissolve in liquids.
I'm including a list of tips we've come up with over the years to help fully dissolve the acacia in liquids or moist foods.
TIPS TO DISSOLVE TUMMY FIBER
1) It works best if the liquid temperature is cool or lukewarm, not very cold or boiling hot
2) Add Tummy Fiber to an empty cup, mix it with add just enough liquid to dissolve it, then add the remaining liquid
3) Stir with a fork instead of a spoon
4) After stirring initially, let it sit for about 60 seconds, then stir again and any remaining lumps should dissolve
5) Sprinkle on moist foods while stirring it in instead of adding a big spoonful all at once
6) A customer recently wrote us to say that he uses a Cuisinart Quick-Prep hand held blender to mix up his Tummy Fiber in just a few seconds.
If you are still unable to use the Tummy Fiber and are at all unhappy, please let us know and we will replace or refund the product. Hope this helps, Joanna

Hi there, I'm sorry that you've been having trouble finding the right dose of the acacia fiber. It can take a while to work up to the right dose for you, and it is different for each person.
Taking too much acacia too fast can cause increased gas and bloating. Acacia is one of the lowest gas-forming fibers out there and going slow makes the gas issue totally avoidable. Please be patient because this really does work.
We recommend starting with ½ teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon). You can split the daily dose up as many time as you like throughout the day, just divide it by 2 or 3 depending on the frequency you prefer. Try to increase the dose every 4th day or so by a teaspoon (add this to the daily dose). If you get increased gas and bloating by jumping the dose up by a teaspoon, try cutting this in half. Some people with IBS are so sensitive they have to go up at ¼ teaspoons every 4th day. Keep stepping up the dose every 4th day or so until you find a dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea. Constipation is usually resolved with a daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea/loose stools usually resolves at a lower dose of 1-3 tablespoons/day. You shouldn't take more than 5 tbsp/day. The maintenance dose is different for each person depending on their specific symptoms. Dietary changes are often necessary to make lasting changes. In the beginning until you stabilize, it works best to take the acacia before each meal to minimize the effect of trigger foods in the meal and to calm the intestines before the food arrives.
If you do decide that the Acacia Tummy Fiber isn't working for you, you can return it to us for a refund even if it's been opened.
Best, Alieta Heather's Tummy Care Representative

Feedback Rating      |
Hi Joyce - I'm so sorry you're not feeling better. You may be someone who is extra sensitive to any change in your fiber. Your Citrucel was at a very low dose (4 tablets = 2 grams), so you may need to drop below that dose if you change to the Tummy Fiber.
Normally, people can start on ½ teaspoon twice daily (that would be 2 grams), but for people who are just extra sensitive, they may have to start at ¼ teaspoon twice daily. That should not cause any bloating or gas, it should just get your gut used to a change. You can then add an extra ¼ tsp to one of your daily doses every 4-5 days or so, and keep gradually increasing at that rate.
Diarrhea does tend to resolve at a lower end of the dose range, but I don't think 2 grams will be enough. On average, diarrhea takes 5-15 grams per day, more typically 10-12 grams per day.
If you're willing to start over at a lower dose, I would hope you see big improvements with no side effects. If you prefer to just return the Tummy Fiber for a full refund you are certainly welcome to, and I understand.
Best, Heather

| about speed of delivery |
| When I order the powder, it arrives always in a week or 9 days. This time I waited three weeks. I think this is not your fault, but maybe the delay was caused by the import office. I could not see at the packet that it was there nevertheless. I never ordered two ones till now, that may be the reason. |

Hi Helen,
I am so sorry your package took so long to be delivered to you in Israel.
It has been our experience that Customs can hold packages for 6-8 weeks sometimes and unfortunately that is beyond our control. This doesn't happen to all packages, but occasionally, especially with larger orders, it can happen. A delay like this is especially likely to happen when there are Customs fees due upon delivery. Sometimes orders will be held at the local post office, awaiting customer pick-up and payment of the Customs fees. This has actually happened in the past without the post office ever notifying the customer that their package was being held.
If this happens again, please feel free to contact us and we can track your package for you.
Thank you for your feedback!
All the best, Joanna

| The Jury is still out! |
| I have been taking the Tummy Fiber since before Christmas. My IBS changed to about every hour - not hard not soft and pretty small. As I encreased so did the gas. Yesterday I went back to Citrecil and even though I am still going frequently I don't have as much gas. I gradually encreased my Tummy Fiber by a half tsp every week and the more I took the more gas I had so I backed off which did no good. I am still on the program along with the CD's Help!! |

Hi there,
I am sorry to hear that you aren't having good luck with the Acacia Senegal Tummy Fiber. It sounds like you did increase gradually, which is great. Some people are a little more sensitive to it, so you might consider starting low again and increasing just by 1/4 tsp or even 1/8 tsp until you see a resolving dose. If you do start to see increased gas and bloating, don't add any more fiber.
You could also try some good strong Fennel Tea. Fennel does wonders for gas and bloating, and provides some instant relief.
If you do decide not to take the Acacia fiber, you can return it to us for a refund. Include in the box your name, address, phone number, and your invoice number if you have it, and we'll process the return for you.
I'm glad to hear that the Audio program is working so well for you!
Best, Alieta Heather's Tummy Care Representative

Hi Karen - you can add the Tummy Fiber to any moist food or liquid, or cook with it. For liquids, just add to your glass first then add your beverage, stir and dissolve. You can also add it to bottled water, shake it up, and drink or take with you. Sprinkle on any wet food - hot cereals, guacamole, pastas, soups, sauces, dips, puddings, tuna salad, etc. For baking add 1 T fiber per cup of flour. For other cooking, whisk in 1 T fiber per cup of liquid. Hope this helps!
Best, Heather

| I began taking 1/4 tsp twice a day ... I've been using this product for the past 2 weeks. I was thrilled when I didn't wake up with nausea from gas buildup during the night - still had the gas - but I developed cramping so I cut back to 1/4 tsp each day which does help but I still need the anti-spasmodic medicine Bentyl but not as much. I still experience 1/2 solid stool in pellet form and some solid and then diarrhea - I am keeping a food journal too but I don't think my system will ever return to normal again. This is my new normal. It's better and I am grateful for that. I also purchased the IBS cookbook which I read for dietary suggestions. |

Hi Leslie - It's good that you have started the fiber at a low dose, but you need to gradually increase that dose in order to see any benefits. The purpose of starting low, increasing gradually, is to get your gut used to more fiber (fiber is literally indigestible).
¼ tsp is only ½ gram of fiber - that is not enough to get any benefits from. See if you can increase your dose to ½ tsp twice a day. After 4-5 days go to 1 tsp in the am, and still ½ tsp in the pm. After another 4-5 days make both doses 1 tsp. And continue to increase slowly but steadily from there.
The gradual increase should prevent gas and bloating. Getting your dose up high enough will help prevent the painful spasms from IBS.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Best, Heather

One day I decided to check on the Internet to see if I could find something that would apply to my condition. I found Heather's website and to my delight found all the information I needed. Suffice to say, my IBS is very manageable now, and I can eat most foods with no problem. Chocolate is the exception which is an istant trigger to trouble!

Hi Dolores - Thanks for your feedback! You are right, the Tummy Fiber dissolves best in room temperature liquids. But, if you want to use the fiber in hot or cold beverages, there is an easy trick for that. Just add the Tummy Fiber to your empty glass, then add only enough room temperature liquid to dissolve it. Once it is liquefied, you can add boiling hot or ice cold liquids to fill the glass and it will be fine.
Best, Heather

| Hi Heather,
I have been taking the Acacia powder for a few years now and it is my life saver. I start my day with a bowl of Oatmeal, Rice milk and 2 scoops of Acacia and I feel stable to start my day. Since I started on Acacia, I no longer get constipated and I go about my days without any painful attack!!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found your site and wonderful products. You are an angel sent from heaven to help the IBS community! May you be richly blessed!

| All of your products have helped me a lot |
| I use the fiber, peppermint caps and tea and now mu daughter is using them. They have helped a whole lot. I can only use the fiber for 5 or 6 weeks then have to switch to something else for 5 or 6 weeks then can go back. Everything I use stops working after that amount of time. The girl at your business says to use more but it's too expensive for that so I didn't try it. I pretty much quit drinking coffe and drink your tea all the time. I find I can get several cups out of one tea bag. I love it. I'm so happy I found your products. |

Feedback Rating      |
Hi Evadna - I'm so sorry for the delay with your order. Our database shows you ordered on 1/9 and your order shipped on 1/10, so I don't know why there was a delay with receiving the items. Normally priority mail takes 2-5 days.
Please do continue with the hypnotherapy program. For some people it takes the full 100 days to see results, especially if your IBS has been severe and chronic for a long time. But if you follow the entire program the odds are very high it will help you tremendously.
For the Tummy Fiber, make sure you have started with a low dose of just ½ teaspoon twice daily, but that you continue to gradually increase your dose. Diarrhea can take 1-3 tablespoons per day to resolve, and constipation can take 3-5 tablespoons per day. But it can take some time to gradually get your doses up to these levels, and it does take some patience. I hate asking people with IBS to wait and go gradually, but the fiber really does work best if you take it slow and steady, and continue to gradually increase.
Please let us know if you have any questions at all.
Best, Heather

| Amazing Product that works GREAT!!!!! |
| I had a small bowel resection in 2008 due to blood clots in my mesenteric arteries. Due to scar tissue and adhesions from that surgery, I developed a bowel obstruction in December 2012. I was advised by a dietitian to avoid foods that are high in insolubl fiber. Since I have a sister with colon cancer, I was also advised to get plenty of fiber each day. After lots of confusion and frustration, I found the answer for both issues. Heather's Tummy Fiber has the soluble fiber that will help keep my colon healthy while also not causing issues with the bowel obstruction. It has no taste whatsoever and is easy to add to my water bottle 3 times per day. Thank you so much for the great product, fast shipping, and solution to my complicated issue!!!! |

| Cured my IBS. |
| I am so grateful for this product and the book The First Year. Because I live alone I stopped making salads and cooking vegetables not realizing that V-8 juice was not the same. I thought I could no longer eat raw fruits and vegetables and this made my diarrhea worse. I have also had a colon resection due to colon cancer. I never knew there were two kinds of fiber and that soluble fiber was essential for me and neither did my doctors. I also followed the directions on the label and gradualy added both types of fiber to my diet. I like not having a gritty taste to the powder also. |

We also started her on the Peppermint Oil capsules. She used to complained of pain in her stomach and we could not figure out why it hurt..

| Worked for me when nothing else did. |
| I've had diahrrea for 6-8 weeks. Dr gave me Lomotil and 2 antibiotics. No improvement. Your acacia fiber worked for me in two days. I am now making sure to drink two large glasses of water with fiber every day, and it's much better. (Still need a colonoscopy, after the first of the year.) |

I stopped these supplements as soon as I began the acai fiber. The acai powder has been working great and produces consistent results. Excellent product. Easier when sprinkled over food because doesn't mix well in liquids, but stirring with a fork rather than a spoon definitely helps. |

| Heather, you have been a godsend! |
| Thirteen months ago, I was in the hospital in Chelsea, MI for 11 days. I had taken my Acacia Fiber with me, which was confiscated, and then doled out to me twice a day by the nursing staff. Upon hearing it was to help control IBS, a few of the nurses became quite interested, as THEY suffer from IBS. I found myself to be quite the IBS guru. Being employed in the medical profession, of course they were taking prescription drugs to treat their IBS. I lent First Year IBS to two of them for a day. I presume you found yourself with some new customers from the Chelsea vicinity :) Thanks again. Larry |

Hi there, I am sorry to hear that you were less than satisfied with the Acacia Tummy Fiber. It can take a while to work up to the right dose, and it is important to start at a low dose and gradually increase. It is not something that will work overnight. Depending on your symptoms, you may need to take a higher dose of the acacia than you are taking right now. Typically, people with diarrhea symptoms see a resolving dose anywhere from 1-3 Tablespoons per day, and constipation usually requires more than that- anywhere from 3-5 Tablespoons.
Here's a link to more information on the Acacia fiber, called the 5 constipation frustrations. You may find this helpful! http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/060705.html#askheather
Of course, if you decide not to take the acacia for any reason, you can return it to us for a refund. See our return policy here: http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/shipping.asp

Hi there,
Soluble fiber supplements (like Acacia Tummy Fiber) can work wonders for constipation, yes. But they are NOT an overnight solution, and they're definitely not drugs. It makes a great deal of difference how you take a soluble fiber supplement, and it's well worth the time and effort to do it right. First of all, these are the best ways to NOT get the results you want from a soluble fiber supplement:
* Try one at a low dose for a few days, then give up because there's no change.
* Go from zero to the maximum dose in one week flat, then give up because it's not working and now you're all bloated and gassy as well.
* Start taking one at the same time you stop taking laxatives, enemas, or colon cleanses you've been using regularly, then give up because your constipation is suddenly worse, not better.
The cardinal rule with a soluble fiber supplement (SFS) is to start at a low dose (for Acacia, just 1/2 a level measuring teaspoon, twice daily), and increase gradually. Constipation often requires a much higher daily dose of a SFS than diarrhea, and it can take several weeks, or even a few months, to slowly work your way up to the maximum daily dose. SFS are not laxatives, and they will not give "overnight relief", so taking a low dose of one for a few days will not alleviate your symptoms. What it will do is begin to acclimate your gut to a higher daily dose of fiber, and this is the goal. Don't give up as soon as you start - just realize that using a SFS is a slow, steady process. You will see improvements along the way.
It's tempting to think that if you need to reach the maximum dose to see the best results, you can just force your body to adjust to a high dose as fast as possible. After all, if your constipation will resolve on a SFS dose of, say, 25 grams a day, and it might typically take someone, say, 8 weeks to reach that dose, you'll be way ahead of the game if you race your way up to that dose in your very first week - right? Nope - wrong.
By definition, if you have IBS, you do not have a normally functioning gut. No matter how your IBS symptoms manifest (constipation or diarrhea, bloating or pain) your GI tract - and specifically, your gastrocolic reflex - is hyper-reactive to normal stimuli. Your goal should always be to keep your gastrocolic reflex stable so you can soothe and regulate your gut function.
Suddenly overloading your bowel with a fiber dose that is possibly ten times what you were taking before you started a SFS will do nothing but give you bloating and gas, as your GI tract struggles to deal with all of this unexpected fiber. Fiber is, after all, an undigestible carbohydrate, and your body needs to work to process it through your digestive tract.
Asking your gut to go from no soluble fiber supplement to a maximum daily dose too quickly is like trying to become a marathon runner by sprinting as hard and as fast as you can without rest. It won't work, you'll be frustrated, and you'll give up. Instead, go slowly, increase your dose gradually, and give your body the time and gentle approach it needs to adjust to the SFS increase. You can't beat your colon into submission with IBS, you need to kindly, patiently, and consistently coax it into normal motility. A SFS can help do this for you if you give it a fair chance.

| I've been using your products for several years and have been completely satisfied. |
| I take a T. in juice or tea before every meal. I mix it up in a insulated mug when going places. My doctor also has me mixing a probiotic with it. This plus taking Pancreaze before each meal. I've suffered with IBS-D almost all my life alternating with IBS-C. Sometimes I've gone months and years with out an episode and then something would set me off. Usually fresh fruits and vegetables plus stress. Still have to be careful what I eat...not fresh fruits and vegetables, watch my fats, etc.....getting plenty of rest. Getting tired seems to be a factor. When I had my gallbladder out about 14 years ago my IBS has been harder to maintain. I had taken Metamucil for years, switched to Citrucil, before finding your product online. I've used your fiber, teas, and your book. Right now I'm doing better than I have in two years. I've only had two episodes this month. Not sure what caused them. Oh, yes. I have used the hypnosis cd (3 times)...I forget the name...Dr. Michael seems to ring a bell. I'm 77 years old so I tend to forget some things. All in all I'm doing better.....as long as I take my meds, watch my diet, and stress level. Thanks for all your help. Sincerely, Marilyn |

| Not at all satisfied with the way it doesn't dissolve. |
| Do you have a trick to make this product dissolve? I have stirred it into both cold and hot liquids both small and large amounts of liquid and cannot get it to dissolve in a short time. Sometimes there is some left on the spoon even when I think it is all dissolved. It really discourages me from using the product at all and I hate to see my money wasted. |

Hi Jeanne,
I'm so sorry you're having difficulty getting the Tummy Fiber to dissolve. The Tummy Fiber is certified organic, all natural gum of the acacia tree - also known as gum arabic. We have actually sourced the exact same organic Acacia Senegal grade from the same supplier from the time our company was founded. It is collected much like maple syrup, though the gum is more a solid than a liquid. They are amber colored, crystal-like pieces; these pieces are what the acacia gum looks like when it is collected from the outside of the tree. The gum is then dissolved in water, filtered, and the liquid is sprayed onto very large heated surfaces to sterilize the fiber and so the water can evaporate. What's left after the water evaporates is the fine, white powder that is acacia fiber.
There are no chemicals used in processing the acacia, and every step from the orchards to the processing to our packaging facility is certified organic. Because this is a natural gum with nothing added, and not a synthetic product that is highly processed, the grain size of the finished powder can vary from lot to lot, and even within a single lot. Even though we have specs in place for the grain size to be consistent and the optimum granularity for dissolving easily in liquids, during the packaging process the conveying and vibrating activities can sometimes separate out larger grains of the gum. This can result in a handful of finished packages of Tummy Fiber that have larger or more irregular grain sizes, which can then take longer to dissolve in liquids.
I'm including a list of tips we've come up with over the years to help fully dissolve the acacia in liquids or moist foods.
TIPS TO DISSOLVE TUMMY FIBER
1) It works best if the liquid temperature is cool or lukewarm, not very cold or boiling hot
2) Add Tummy Fiber to an empty cup, mix it with add just enough liquid to dissolve it, then add the remaining liquid
3) Stir with a fork instead of a spoon
4) After stirring initially, let it sit for about 60 seconds, then stir again and any remaining lumps should dissolve
5) Sprinkle on moist foods while stirring it in instead of adding a big spoonful all at once
If you are still unable to use the Tummy Fiber and are at all unhappy, please let us know and we will replace or refund the product.
Hope this helps, Heather

Hi Ann - I'm so sorry to hear you're still struggling. Please make sure you started with a Tummy Fiber dose of ½ teaspoon twice daily, and that you are gradually increasing that dose by an extra ½ teaspoon every 4 days or so.
Diarrhea typically resolves at 1-3 tablespoons total per day, but you do have to reach those higher doses gradually. If you resolve at a lower dose, just stay there. You can continue to take Imodium with the fiber, that is not a problem at all. As your fiber dose increases and diarrhea resolves, you should be able to transition off the Imodium.
Best, Heather

Hi Teresa -
I'm so sorry you had delays with the delivery of this order. Normally orders to foreign countries take 3-7 business days. Sometimes, however, foreign orders are held up at Customs.
It is very frustrating for us as well because it seems to be totally random as to whether Customs will hold an order and for how long. We have customers that order from us regularly for years without any complications and then out of the blue one of their packages will be detained for weeks on end.
One option you could consider would be to place your order through our UK wholesale customer. Their site is here Vitamins UK http://www.vitaminsuk.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=568
That should avoid Customs delays that you can encounter with orders shipped from the US.
My apologies, Heather

Hi WJ - I'm so sorry you aren't seeing better results from the Tummy Fiber.
I do recommend starting with just ½ level teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon). You can split the daily dose up as many time as you like throughout the day, just divide it by 2 or 3 depending on the frequency you prefer. Try to increase the dose every 4th day or so by a teaspoon (add this to the daily dose).
If you get increased gas and bloating by jumping the dose up by a teaspoon, try cutting this in half. Some people with IBS are so sensitive they have to go up at ¼ teaspoons every 4th day. Keep stepping up the dose every 4th day or so until you find a dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea.
Constipation is usually resolved with a daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea/loose stools usually resolves at a lower dose of 1-3 tablespoons/day. You shouldn't take more than 5 tbsp/day. The maintenance dose is different for each person depending on their specific symptoms.
Dietary changes are often necessary to make lasting changes. In the beginning until you stabilize, it works best to take the acacia before each meal to minimize the effect of trigger foods in the meal and to calm the intestines before the food arrives.
If you are unable to use the fiber or remain unhappy with it, by all means please do return it for a full refund.
Best, Heather

| This is the best fiber I have ever used, saved my life. |
| I am 65 yrs old and began diarrhea in late June and the condition continued without ceasing until early Oct. Gastroenterologists did all the test and I was told I had IBS. The only thing they gave me was immodium or pepto bismol. I lost 17 lbs, became anemic, my total proteins dropped normal, and I felt that I might die. I ordered the Acacia fiber and the diet book. Slowly my diarrhea stopped and I began to be able to eat food again. Before I was using my stored fat to supply energy for my body. I lost from 130 to 113 lbs. One NP told me that basically there was nothing wrong with me. At the end of my ordeal, they did do an IBD panel and some immune markers came back positive. It was them revealed to me, when my colonscopy was performed that I had an area of inflammatiom, but it did not fit the textbook picture. All in all, I feel the medical community let me down medically and I am so thankful I found Heather's website. I continue on the fiber and the recipes. |

As an aside, dairy is one of the top IBS triggers, and it will be very difficult for you to stop diarrhea if you're drinking 2 liters of milk a day. Please at least try cutting out dairy to see if it helps you.

Hi Bette - what is your current daily dose of the acacia, and are you taking it twice daily? Constipation does require a gradual increase to a higher end of the dose range, which may be anywhere from 2 to 5 tablespoons per day total. You do need to reach those doses gradually, though.
I'm giving you a link to the 5 Constipation Frustrations here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/060705.html#askheather as that may help pinpoint some problems for you.
Walking is a good idea - so is drinking plenty of water.
Please let me know where you are at with the Tummy Fiber dose and if you have any other questions at all.
Best, Heather

| Not knowing what the refill pouch meant, I ordered the pouch, and when I saw it wasn't refillable or closable, I wished I had ordered the product in a can that was resealable and refillable. My mistake. |

Hi Wendy - I am so sorry shipments to Canada aren't speedier. Customs clearance tends to slow things down and it frustrates us very much. We do have a handful of Canadian stores listed here http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/stores.asp#can and one of them, Norfolk, will ship anywhere within Canada. That will save shipping time and customs costs for you.

| The product works!!! |
| I have not been diagnosed with IBS but started to have stomach issues when I did not eat a bland diet. I have had tests and so far nothing is wrong. It is very difficult however when you have to run to the ladies room a number of times during the day. I would say I have the symptoms of IBS-D. The first time I tried the fiber I took too much at once. I so wanted it to work. I then carefully took small amounts and gradually increased it to 1 tablespoon three times a day. It’s great to be able to take a natural product and get away from the Imodium. I still have to watch my diet but have been able to add some more vegetables and a small amount of red meat into my diet. Thanks to all… Susan |

Hello Andrea,
I am so sorry you had to use a key to open the Travel Packets! The Travel Packets should now have tear notches on every packet. Is there a chance you did not see them? Unfortunately, the tear notches are fairly small and may be hard to see. But when they are there, it makes opening the Travel Packets very easy!

Hello,
I am so sorry you think the Tummy Fiber is expensive. If you look at the price per gram of Tummy Fiber compared to Metamucil, you will see that we are actually less expensive:
1 Refill Pouch of Tummy Fiber: $16.95 for 16 oz (453 grams) = $0.0374 per gram 2 grams soluble fiber per level teaspoon (out 2.5 grams total weight) - http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/suplmts/acacia.asp Ingredients: acacia senegal
1 Metamucil Smooth Texture Sugar Free Orange : $12.05* for 10 oz (283.5 grams) = $0.0425 per gram 2 grams soluble fiber per rounded teaspoon (out of 5.4 grams total weight) - http://www.metamucil.com/metamucil-sugarfree-orange-smooth.php * http://www.vitacost.com/metamucil-smooth-texture-sugar-free Ingredients: Psyllium Husk, Maltodextrin, Citric Acid, Natural and Artificial Orange Flavor, Aspartame, Yellow 6
I am not sure if this is the specific Metamucil product you are using, but the flavoring and fillers in many Metamucil products can actually trigger IBS symptoms (especially the sugar free products, which contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame). Also these fillers and flavorings make up 2/3 of what you are paying for.
Heather's Tummy Fiber is 100% soluble fiber and is all natural, certified organic, naturally sugar free, tasteless, naturally gluten free, and will not trigger any IBS symptoms such as gas, bloating, pain, cramping, etc. Metamucil is mostly filler ingredients, and the source of fiber in it, psyllium, is only about 2/3 soluble fiber. The remaining 1/3 is insoluble fiber, which can trigger IBS.
You can also stock up to save on the per pouch price and shipping cost by purchasing the Tummy Fiber in bulk: http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/deals/default.asp
Purchasing the Tummy Fiber Bulk Kit will drop the per pouch price down from $16.95 to $16.11. It also knocks the shipping price down from $4.99 for one item to $3.32 per item. Also, if you are in the US, the most you will currently pay for shipping is $9.97 for 3 or more items.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions on the pricing of the Tummy Fiber.
Best, Joanna

Hi Daria - For the Tummy Fiber Acacia to work properly, it's crucial that you start with a low dose (1/2 teaspoon twice daily) and gradually increase to a dose high enough to resolve constipation (which may likely be 4-5 tablespoons a day).
If you get gas or bloating, that would mean you increased your dose too quickly. It can take several weeks or even a few months to gradually increase up to the dose you'd likely need to resolve constipation, and unfortunately you can't rush this. Tummy Fiber is not a drug or a laxative so it won't work overnight.
I really feel for the constipation folks, as it takes some patience to start slowly, increase gradually, and eventually get your daily dose up high enough to resolve symptoms. A lower dose can't worsen constipation, but it won't resolve it, either.
Having the fiber at least twice a day - and you can have it more often - is also key, as you want to keep your gut filled with soluble fiber at all times. That will help prevent cramping and spasms in the first place.
It's also help to review the Five Constipation Frustrations here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/060705.html#askheather <http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/060705.html> and, if you've been using laxatives, information on transitioning off them here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/06/082206.html#askheather <http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/06/082206.html>

| New To This Product., It is GREAT |
| Heather's Acacia Senegal is a wonderful alternative to other soluble fiber products I have tried. It is gentle and kind to your tummy, easy to get down, and does a really impressive job of soothing the bowel and allowing for better digestion. Although I have used other Heather's products, only recently tried this because I have had such problems with other fiber products. This one is a winner, and I will be using it regularly as needed. So glad I have found something my body and taste-buds can tolerate with ease! |

Hello Jill,
Thank you for your feedback.
The Tummy Fiber should not cause constipation or diarrhea. Please make sure you start with a low dose and gradually increase by 1/2 teaspoon every 4-5 days. If you increase too quickly you will not see the results you are looking for.
You are correct, though, sudden and drastic changes to your diet can affect your bowel movements. Make sure you are eating plenty of soluble fiber and are staying away from the trigger foods. Also, insoluble fiber foods are important to your diet, but please make sure you are cooking, chopping, or pureeing the insoluble fiber foods and eating them with soluble fiber.
I hope this helps! Please feel free to keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you have any questions!
All the best, Joanna Ricken Heather's Tummy Care Representative

Hello Robin,
I am sorry to hear you may not be getting the results you hoped. Do you suffer from IBS-C? If so, you can find some great tips for IBS-C here: http://www.helpforibs.com/footer/constipation.asp
For the Tummy Fiber Acacia to work properly, it's crucial that you start with a low dose (1/2 teaspoon twice daily) and gradually increase to a dose high enough to resolve constipation (which may be 3-5 tablespoons a day). If you get gas or bloating, that would mean you increased your dose too quickly. It can take several weeks to gradually increase up to the dose you'd likely need to resolve constipation, and unfortunately you can't rush this. Tummy Fiber is not a drug or a laxative so it won't work overnight.
I really feel for the constipation folks, as it takes some patience to start slowly, increase gradually, and eventually get your daily dose up high enough to resolve symptoms. A lower dose can't worsen constipation, but it won't resolve it, either. You may want to start over following these directions and see if you have better luck.
Having the fiber at least twice a day - and you can have it more often - is also key, as you want to keep your gut filled with soluble fiber at all times. That will help prevent cramping and spasms in the first place.
It's also help to review the Five Constipation Frustrations here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/060705.html#askheather. If you have been using laxatives, information on transitioning off them here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/06/082206.html#askheather.
I hope this helps!

Hello Bonnie,
Thank you for your comments. When starting to take the Tummy Fiber, it is important to start with a low dose and gradually work your way up to a higer resolving dose. Taking too much acacia too fast can cause increased gas and bloating. Acacia is one of the lowest gas-forming fibers out there and going slow makes the gas issue totally avoidable. Please be patient because this really does work.
We recommend starting with ½ teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon). You can split the daily dose up as many time as you like throughout the day, just divide it by 2 or 3 depending on the frequency you prefer. Try to increase the dose every 4th day or so by a teaspoon (add this to the daily dose). If you get increased gas and bloating by jumping the dose up by a teaspoon, try cutting this in half. Some people with IBS are so sensitive they have to go up at ¼ teaspoons every 4th day. Keep stepping up the dose every 4th day or so until you find a dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea. Constipation is usually resolved with a daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea/loose stools usually resolves at a lower dose of 1-3 tablespoons/day. You shouldn't take more than 5 tbsp/day. The maintenance dose is different for each person depending on their specific symptoms. Dietary changes are often necessary to make lasting changes. In the beginning until you stabilize, it works best to take the acacia before each meal to minimize the effect of trigger foods in the meal and to calm the intestines before the food arrives.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best, Joanna Ricken Heather's Tummy Care Representative

Hello Wendy,
I am so sorry about the delay in shipping to Canada. Have you received your order?
Your order shipped out on 7/11, and normally orders to foreign countries take 3-7 business days. Sometimes, however, foreign orders are held up at Customs. It is very frustrating for us as well because it seems to be totally random as to whether Customs will hold an order and for how long. We have customers that order from us regularly for years without any complications and then out of the blue one of their packages will be detained for weeks on end.
Unfortunately, the US Postal Service does not provide accurate tracking for international packages weighing less than 4 pounds. So when I track your package the information does not even show it has left the United States.
It has been our experience that Customs can hold packages for 6-8 weeks sometimes. This doesn't happen to all packages, but occasionally especially with larger orders, it can happen. A delay like this is especially likely to happen when there are Customs fees due upon delivery. Sometimes orders will be held at the local post office, awaiting customer pick-up and payment of the Customs fees. This has actually happened in the past without the post office ever notifying the customer that their package was being held.
If you have not received your package, you could check and see if your local post office does have the order for you. If things are held up in Customs, we just have to wait until they're finally processed through. All of their contact will be with you, so I never even know if Customs is holding a package until the customer passes this info along to me.
Again, I do apologize for the delay! Please let us know if there is anything else we can do.

Hello Angeline,
Thank you for your feedback on the international shipping charges.
Our shipping rates are based on the average cost to ship when we examined 6 months of order history. Occasionally, someone might pay a little more or a little less than the actual shipping charge, but in the end we sometimes break even. We do not, nor do we want to, make a profit on shipping. Our shipping policies are detailed on the website here http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/shipping.asp and there is also a specific shipping price provided on the checkout page when you order online.
We completely understand customers' frustrations with shipping prices, because they just keep going up. USPS has raised the prices for priority mail shipping twice in the last eighteen months. This means we have to keep increasing our shipping prices as well. It is simply not feasible to charge customers the actual shipping cost for each order. There are too many variations in flat rate versus variable rate packaging, size, and weight issues. It is the industry standard to create a shipping fee schedule based on the average cost of shipping per item (www.amazon.com does this as well).
There is no less expensive means of shipping that we're aware of. FedEx and UPS are both as expensive (or more) than priority mail, and they usually take longer for delivery as well.
We reduce the prices of the products on the website from the suggested retail price to help offset the cost of shipping.
We do have a Canadian distributor in Simcoe, ON that will ship anywhere in Canada:
Norfolk Holistic Foods Also offers Tummy Care phone, mail, or online order shipments anywhere within Canada! 17 Peel St Simcoe, ON N3Y 1S1 Canada (519) 426-9309
Another option you could consider would be to place your order through one of our online wholesale customers:
iHerb.com: http://www.iherb.com/heathers-tummy

Hello Helen,
I'm so sorry you're having difficulty getting the Tummy Fiber to dissolve. The Tummy Fiber is certified organic, all natural gum of the acacia tree - also known as gum arabic. We have actually sourced the exact same organic Acacia Senegal grade from the same supplier from the time our company was founded. It is collected much like maple syrup, though the gum is more a solid than a liquid. They are amber colored, crystal-like pieces; these pieces are what the acacia gum looks like when it is collected from the outside of the tree. The gum is then dissolved in water, filtered, and the liquid is sprayed onto very large heated surfaces to sterilize the fiber and so the water can evaporate. What's left after the water evaporates is the fine, white powder that is acacia fiber.
There are no chemicals used in processing the acacia, and every step from the orchards to the processing to our packaging facility is certified organic. Because this is a natural gum with nothing added, and not a synthetic product that is highly processed, the grain size of the finished powder can vary from lot to lot, and even within a single lot. Even though we have specs in place for the grain size to be consistent and the optimum granularity for dissolving easily in liquids, during the packaging process the conveying and vibrating activities can sometimes separate out larger grains of the gum. This can result in a handful of finished packages of Tummy Fiber that have larger or more irregular grain sizes, which can then take longer to dissolve in liquids.
I'm including a list of tips we've come up with over the years to help fully dissolve the acacia in liquids or moist foods.
TIPS TO DISSOLVE TUMMY FIBER
1) It works best if the liquid temperature is cool or lukewarm, not very cold or boiling hot
2) Add Tummy Fiber to an empty cup, mix it with add just enough liquid to dissolve it, then add the remaining liquid
3) Stir with a fork instead of a spoon
4) After stirring initially, let it sit for about 60 seconds, then stir again and any remaining lumps should dissolve
5) Sprinkle on moist foods while stirring it in instead of adding a big spoonful all at once
6) A customer recently wrote us to say that he uses a Cuisinart Quick-Prep hand held blender to mix up his Tummy Fiber in just a few seconds.
If you are still unable to use the Tummy Fiber and are at all unhappy, please let us know and we will replace or refund the product. Hope this helps, Joanna

Hello Carol,
Thank you for taking the time to review the product.
If you are prone to heartburn/acid reflux you will want to wait a full hour before eating or drinking anything. I know this can be tough sometimes, but it will really help to make sure the Tummy Tamer does not get stuck in your stomach.
You will know if the Tummy Tamer is stuck in your stomach because you will taste peppermint in the back of your throat.
Taking them too close to meal time can be problematic for people with reflux. HOWEVER! There are some people who have problems with the caps when they wait the full hour before they eat. If you previously took the cap on an empty stomach, and waited an hour before eating, and still had problems, you might be one of those people. In that case, try taking a cap on an empty stomach just 5-10 minutes before eating, and see if that works better for you. I hope this information was helpful. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best, Joanna Heather's Tummy Care Representative

| Thank for posting my review, I SWEAR by your Tummy Fiber!! |
| I wanted to be sure I put up a review for Heather’s Tummy Fiber, because ever since I found their web site all those years ago, Heather and her products gave me back my life. Doctors were of absolutely NO HELP! They don’t care about it, they think it’s just in our heads, and offered no help. Lots of useless tests of course, but no help. Well, I’m here to tell you, it’s not in your head, it’s real. I was lucky, although I’ve suffered with IBS for decades, I only needed the Tummy Fiber to set my life back on course. That and everything she writes about IBS. She explained it all! I’ve taken that fiber every day of my life for 11 years, and it makes all the difference in the world. You have to try different amounts, along with a balanced diet, to see what works best for you, but after you find your sweet spot, you should be pretty much good to go. So wonderful to be able to travel again, so good to be able to eat out and not fear needing a restroom, desperately 30 minutes after you eat. I know every available bathroom in town. I once tried to quit taking Heather’s Fiber, and switched to one of the fiber solutions sold in the grocery stores, just for convenience! It took about 10 days, but the symptoms came roaring back. Won’t be making that mistake again. I have tried to get local places in Austin to carry it, but can’t get any interest (just like with doctors) So frustrating. Trust this product, it is worth EVERY penny, and worth ordering online-if you can’t get it in your town. Thank you Heather for giving us this web site and all your products, recipes, and literature to learn how to live your life wonderfully, with IBS. |

| Somehow, order was not shipped and I had to request shipment. I ran out of fiber and had to get some horrible sweet stuff at the store. No biggy!! |

| So far the fiber is helping me stay the symptoms without taking medication. I have found that if I mix it well with the sugar before I add the water, I have no clumping at all |

| A great product from a great company. Exceeds expectations. |
| This simple powder, with no distinctive odor and no distinctive flavor, works for preventing constipation or diarrhea. It's easy to use--experiment to learn how much your body needs per day. |

Hi Rosie - I'm so sorry to hear you are unhappy with the Tummy Fiber. You are of course welcome to return it at any time, for any reason.
Can I ask what dose you started with and what dose you worked up to? It can take starting slowly, gradually increasing, and reaching a dose high enough for your symptoms to see the best results. Sometimes that takes just a week or so but for higher doses it can take several weeks to gradually get there.
Best, Heather
