Winnie, where ARE you? I've never heard of them doing that before. You should let Heather know, because this affects all her international shipping. I wonder if she's ever had this problem? Yeah, you should tell her, just alert her to it.
I'm afraid I'd toss the stuff. I just don't like the idea of someone else in my food. (I have an issue with restaurants too.) Maybe I'm not the one to ask.
I don't know where you are, but are you able to buy Benefiber there? (Here we get it at Safeway.) I like it better than Acacia because it dissolves instantly, whereas Acacia takes awhile. Otherwise, it's just like Acacia: has no taste, doesn't get thick, works just as well.
You need the SFS, even just a little. (I don't take a lot, only 3g./day.)
Sorry that Customs did this to you. I've certainly had my share of problems with Customs! (Don't get me started.) The last time I came back over the border, I swore I'd never go back up to Canada again -- not EVER -- and I've kept that promise to myself. I haven't been up there in over 9 months (and I'm right ON the border). I have nothing against Canadians -- they're delightful people -- but Customs and Immigration!? OMG! They're the WORST trigger for IBS, even more so than coffee or dairy! I just won't subject myself to that stress any more.
Okay, my ranting is over.
Tell Heather. She needs to know.
Bev
