I have started taking Heathers Tummy Fibre a few days ago and have started getting stomach cramps, no rushing to toilet just cramps.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal and will disappear?

You can get this sort of thing when you start taking a SF supplement. How much have you been having? Did you follow Heather's advice with starting out with small amounts?
PS - I notice your name, are you from Yorkshire, UK? Only ask because I am!

Just thought I'd add that I'm from Yorkshire, Leeds in fact!
Have also just started taking a SF supplement with no ill effects as of yet...

Hi Yorkshire! I'm in Wales and have been thinking about ordering Heather's Acacia Tummy supplement as well. Have you found a SF supplement apart from Psyllium in the UK? Would be interested to know if the stomach cramps get better on the Acacia as time goes on. Regards, Lorien

I am taking the minimum dosage to start, but only been taking it a few days. I have tried Psyllium husks before and had the same experience with them.
My case is strange, don't have constipation AND diarrhea and before the stomach pains, nausea and upset stomach.

I haven't found anything else in the UK. I ordered the Acacia of here and it arrived within a week, pretty good I think.
I'm not suffering from cramps from it but am quite bloated and full (although this is my usual and only symptom anyway). Hopefully as time goes on it will start to have an effect, I've only been using it for 4 days.

Hiya! I'm from Sheffield, though just about living at my partners now, half way between Nottingham and Derby.
There's a few of us Brits on here - Pinkprincess is in Manchester, Natalie1985 is at uni in Leeds and Sinead (Cailin) is in Dublin.
Welcome!
