Natural Calm is a magnesium citrate supplement. It's a powder, so you mix it with hot water and drink it like tea. It has a very sweet flavor. If you can't find it at your HFS, you can order it online. It's a lifesaver!
IF is insoluble fiber. I think there's a list of abbreviations at the beginning of this board somewhere...
I use one heaping tablespoon of ground flax meal every day in my cereal. It doesn't really taste like anything, but it's an easy way to add fiber! As for smoothies, I use berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries), rice milk, and banana. I also add a rice protein powder so I don't get hungry so quickly.
Hope that helps! Definitely give the acacia a try. It has really helped with my gas and bloating.
