I was just wondering if Heather's Tummy Fiber is better than Metamucil? I'm trying to figure out if one is better than the other? I have had IBS for about 10 or so years, but I have had some trouble the last couple of weeks, more than usual.
Thanks for all your help.

I took Metamucil years ago on the advice of my doctor and didn't do well on it. I got Heather's Acacia and it was great for me. Did you just start on the Metamucil recently?

It is different for different people, but worth it to try and find one that works for you.
Hope that helps,
Kat

Because Heather's Tummy Fiber is all soluble fiber, while Metamucil also contains insoluble fiber. Also, the psyllium in Metamucil can cause gas and bloating. There's more information on the main Help for IBS site. HTH!
