SO, I've been thinking about purchasing Heather's Acacia... but before I do-- I have a few questions...
1) What does it taste like?
2) Does it thicken within a few minutes (ie: by the time you get to the bottom of the drink, even though you've been chugging it, there is about a teas. of the mixture that flows into your mouth)
3) Does it smell funky...?

I know these are all odd questions, but my parents bought me some really expensive Essential Oils fiber drink and it tastes rancid (ha--no, really, it's horrid), about a teas or more of the mixture goes into my mouth when the liquid is gone, AND the smell of it (the powder in the bottle) makes me want to vomit! HA! It's all around horrible, but it does the job... 4 g of fiber--> 3 soluble, and 1 unsoluble. OH, and it makes me gassy... which is just great-- I mean, honestly, what would makes someone want to drink this everyday? LOL

luvins!

Easy peasy. It has virtually no taste (if you put it in plain water I think it makes the water taste stale), it doesn't thicken and it doesn't smell! See why we love it! Because of this, you can put it in anything...I had mine sprinkled over my cereal this morning!

Every other fiber supplement I have ever tried made me gag. And made my symptoms worse. The acacia isn't like that. It is tasteless and it dissolves (more or less) in water. It's dramatically helped me. I'd definitely recommend it.
