Hi guys-

I'm very new to all of this & having been following Heathers' diet religously except one day (with horrific consequences). I am taking a 1/2 tsp acacia two times a day & the peppermint capsules. I am stil struggling with really bad gas & bloating & C-any suggestions?

I asked earlier, but no one answered. Where do you get Natural Calm and what form does it come in? Is it one of Heather's products I've overlooked? Please reply. I could use the help.

Is it a laxative, or is it for the gas as well?

It's a magnesium citrate powder supplement. You add it to a cup of hot water and drink it like tea. You can find it at some HFS (Whole Foods, Wild Oats), or you can order it online. I take it every night and it's WONDERFUL!

Magnesium is a natural laxative. I found that it did help a little with gas only because it helps get things moving. Gas builds up when things move too slowly.
