what SFS capsules they take in place of the acacia when they are out or away et.Where can I buy them?
Also are there any plans to make Heather's products available over here - that would be great!

...right here from the site, and I know she does ship overseas, I'm pretty sure Linz uses acacia (and she's in the UK).

Beyond that, I won't be much help... but I had to throw that in.

I've ordered acacia. I could find very few SFSs here, Linz is your expert though, I'm sure she'll join in shortly!

Yeah right is basicaly my response I'm afraid!! The only SFS available on the shelves over her which is Fybogel (do NOT take this stuff) which is psyllium based and is chocka with artificial sweeteners. Yucky stuff.

You can get some others available on prescription - I know Boots Chemists stock a few. If you ask at the pharmacy, they'll let you have a look if you want to get some ideas to suggest to your GP, but I think many of them are inulin based whioh isn't for everyone.

I order Acacia from Heather and it's great...especially as the exchange rate is so good for us atm! Never takes long to get here either.

thank you for answering so quickly, I do order acacia from Heather and I agree - it really is effective. I read that her products have been launched nationwide in the USA, and I think. Canada so I was interested to see if she had any more plans for over here.
Are acacia capsules available yet, again I may have read that this is something that Heather is working on, what sfs capsules do you recommend over here, Linz, for convenience?

I take a little Betterware tub of Acacia with me when I travel.

And no, the Acacia capsules aren't out yet.
