hello. i was wondering if the acacia fiber sold on the site is alkalizing or acidic to the ph of the digestive system? surprisingly it is the first thing listed on iherb's ph balance/alkaline section.

I haven't heard specifically. Since it is a prebiotic, I don't think it would be a low ph. I assume it would raise the ph as it has no sugars or acids.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
