I have to add that my doctor prescribed Metamucil for me, when she first diagnosed me with IBS 10 years ago. That's basically all she told me to do... and initially it really made a difference. I did notice over time, that I was getting more and more bloated, with more and more gas, and even acid reflux. (Now I know from Heather's info, that this is probably because I was using the low-sugar, orange-flavoured version of Metamucil.) Anyway, it got so bad, that I was quite reluctant to use Metamucil, which caused my IBS symptoms to flare (vicious circle). Then I found Heather's site a few months ago and read about the effects of psyllium on the body, and a light bulb went off in my head. I am now a happy user of acacia fiber. It's definitely gentler on my body. And it's such a fine powder that you don't notice it at all. Just wanted to pass this on, from a long-time Metamucil user that has recently made the switch
