Customer Reviews of Heather's Tummy Fiber POUCH Organic Acacia 16 oz. for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Customer Review: Got my life back...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've dealt with IBS for over 8 years. When it had gotten so bad I couldn't leave the house anymore, I decided enough was enough. I did a search for IBS and found Heather's website. I ordered the Acacia (Tummy Fiber) right away, then later the books. The fiber is wonderful! It doesn't get gritty, and you can add it to soft foods as well, like applesauce. There is NO taste or texture to it at all, as is it completely soluble. Just make sure you put the fiber in a glass first, then add the liquid, stirring with a fork. If for some reason it doesn't mix all the way, which is rare, just let it sit for a few minutes. I also have been on the diet, and am using her peppermint capsules. And now, I CAN LEAVE THE HOUSE!!! I can venture away from the bathroom like a normal person. I have my life back.
And the Acacia helps all three types of IBS. I just wish I would had found it sooner.
It also ships quickly, just one more plus. I can't say enough good things about Heather and her products. I'm ordering more right now. Give it a try, don't let IBS hold you hostage anymore. You won't regret trying the Acacia.
Customer Review: Instant relief
Summary: 5 Stars
I tend to have random IBS attacks. Some days I feel great and can eat salad with no problem, other days I'm lucky if I can get a piece of plain bread down. I've found that the Acacia fiber works the best of all the supplements I've tried, hands down. The peppermint caps exacerbate my symptoms, while the fennel tea only helps sporadically.
I usually have a teaspoon in the morning with my juice and another at night. I've also used it during the day whenever I bloat after eating. The bloating and pain disappear almost immediately - after 10-15 minutes I feel like a human being again. I've also incorporated into recipes, as suggested by the [...] website. I keep a pouch of it in my purse at all times and pull it out at restaurants to put into my water. It takes about 3-7 minutes to dissolve completely - after that, you won't even notice it.
Thanks to the Acacia fiber, I can eat Greek and Thai food again. I tend to think of it as my "magic powder".
Customer Review: Relief at Last!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have suffered from IBS symptoms for my whole life and never knew what the culprits were. After much work in an elimination diet to determine the reasons for severe constipation that I have developed over the past year, I still had to have surgery and still had bm issues. I finally accepted that I cannot just rely on a very high fiber diet. So, in working with a wonderful nutritionist, I found that my supplement has to be free of all the commercial, chemical garbage that they put in most supplements.
This fiber supplement, Heather's Tummy Fiber, has been a godsend. I am finally off a daily, heavy-duty laxative. I still have to drink lots of water (which I had been doing) but the fiber supplement is working, is inexpensive, and does not trigger allergic reactions like the others. I highly recommend this product as a possible solution for those who have a very long list of food/chemical intolerances. Follow the directions and go slow. But it's working for me! Yay!
Customer Review: No rating yet...but price is right
Summary: 3 Stars
Sorry for the three-star rating, I couldn't post without stars even though I haven't used this yet. I appreciate all the reviews for this product. You have helped encourage me to try it. Citrucel was recommended to me but has too many calories from sugar, or is loaded with artificial sweeteners/flavorings/colorings. If I take 2 servings of a 60 calorie supplement, I've already consumed 10% of my daily calorie allowance! Not acceptable! Not to mention it is insoluble fiber and I want to use soluble.
To answer the one negative review, I calculated the cost per teaspoon of Heather's Tummy fiber versus the Fibersure (using the Amazon price PLUS shipping). The fibersure may look cheaper because it is in smaller containers, but the price per dose is actually better on the Tummy fiber. Tummy Fiber calculated to .11 (USD) per dose, Fibersure calculates to .32 (USD) per dose (rounded to the nearest penny).
I will write a real review once I've tried it.
Customer Review: Changed my life!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had stomach problems for nearly my whole life (I am 43 now), but about 15 years ago, my problems got progressively worse. I tried a lot of remedies, but nothing worked. I was having constant stomach pain, gas, diarrhea, and I would have intestinal spasms when I ate almost anything. After trying out different probiotics, enzymes, supplements, fibers, and diets, I stumbled on Heather's Tummy Care. I was amazed that such an inexpensive product just worked! I worked my way up to 3 tablespoons per day, 2 in the morning and 1 for lunch. Now I rarely have any problems at all. I still had to be careful about eating certain foods (fried foods, high sugar content, certain sauces), but I can even eat those in moderation if I've taken my fiber first. I no longer have to worry about going out to lunch with co-workers and having to head directly to the bathroom or try to mask loud stomach churning. It really has had an impact on my life.
