Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Acacia Fiber versus the other brands???

First of all, FiberSure is inulin which can be a big gas producer: web page

As for price, I agree with AtomicRose - all the comparisons I've done between other SFS and Acacia come up with Acacia as the cheapest. You have to compare grams of Soluble Fiber not just volume of product.

I found FiberSure at Costco: $15.49 for 100 teaspoons which is $15.49 for 500 grams of Soluble Fiber (5 grams of SF per teaspoon). That works out to 3.1 cents per gram of Soluble Fiber. (This seems to be a very good price for FiberSure - at Walgreen's the FiberSure works out to 6 cents per gram of Soluble Fiber.)

One foil packet of Acacia contains 450 grams of Soluble Fiber and sells for $13.59. That works out to 3.1 cents per gram of Soluble Fiber.

There is shipping on the Acacia but if you buy 3 foil packets at a time like I do, the shipping adds less then 0.6 cents per gram of Soluble Fiber. That means that even with shipping, Acacia costs 3.7 cents per gram of Soluble Fiber when you buy 3 packets at a time.

HTH.
