 Got my life back... |
| Review Date: February 14, 2005 |
| Reviewer: K. D. Menell, San Bernardino, CA |
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. |
Best help for my constipation ever!

| Review Date: July 15, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Avalon, New York, NY |
| I love this stuff! It took me the better part of a month to really see noticeable results, but ever since then I'm going to the bathroom not just once, but twice a day. Only someone who has suffered with IBS for years can understand how thrilling this is. I wasn't sure if this was helping me at first, so I emailed the company, and Heather herself actually wrote me back! It turned out I just needed to keep gradually increasing my dose, and that did the trick. Patience and persistence were worth it in this case - I will never give up my Tummy Fiber! |
Took care of my diarrhea and constipation!

| Reviewer: SamuelKJ, Palm Beach, FL |
| Ever since I was a little kid I've had stomach problems, cramps, and I alternate between constipation and diarrhea. When I was in my twenties I was finally told I have IBS, and that I should take psyllium. I tried that and got bloating so bad I looked pregnant (and I'm a man). Acacia for me is a miracle. No bloating, no gas. It just stops my diarrhea and keeps me from getting constipated. I've been using it for several months right now, and I couldn't be happier. I keep some at work, some at home, and I travel with it too. This stuff is amazing - why didn't they have this for me years ago?! |
Amazing and Safe Treatment for IBS
|
| Review Date: July 30, 2006 |
| Reviewer: C. W. Atwood, |
| My IBS symptoms (mixed) reemerged horribly after having to discontinue a serotonin-based antidepressant due to a rash. I had weeks of incredibly painful symptoms and nothing worked, not even medication from the doctor. I was taking Fibercon caps which did no good. In desperation I tried a low dose of acacia powder and also later, one peppermint capsule a day. A complete turnaround occurred in just a few days, also helped by suggestions on the helpforibs.com website, and I have been doing well ever since. Based on the timeframe,it appears the acacia powder was the most significant agent. I am a complete skeptic so I can tell you this was not a placebo effect. I didn't think it would work and when it did, I was surprised and so grateful. |
Irritable bowel help

| Review Date: January 8, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Never enough books, |
| This acacia powder is soothing and much easier to take than psyllium husk powder. The best thing about ordering this "Tummy Fiber" was the information offered on Heather's website. Along with care in choice of foods, the Tummy Fiber makes life a lot better. It can be stirred into a glass of water or incorporated into any food, including baked goods. |
Heather's Tummy Fiber Review by Raj Naraparaju
|
| Review Date: February 20, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Mr. Sudhakar S. Naraparaju, Columbia, MD |
| I love this product. I used it as recommended from the day1 and really started to feel the difference within a week. My IBS symptoms reduced considerably. I use it mixing with a couple of spoons of plain yogurt and love the taste also. |
Very helpful...safe.

| This is a helpful fiber. It does not bloat a person and it is gentle. I recommnend starting very slowly. Worth a try. |
Wow...Worked great!

| Review Date: April 14, 2007 |
| Reviewer: California Girl, USA |
| Heather's Acacia fiber is amazing. What a great organic soothing fiber for IBS (I took it for IBS-D). It arrived very quickly, and I got started on it right away. The difference was noticable within the first few days. This product has exceeded my expectations and truly delivered in every way. I've tried other fiber that the gastroenterologists recommended, that made things worse. I was totally thrilled at how well this worked, and how well my intestines tolerated it. It is also very easy to add to foods. What a great product. I wish that I'd tried it sooner. Thank you Heather! |
Great for IBS

| Review Date: January 3, 2008 |
| Reviewer: A. M. Ferrell, Tipp City, Ohio United States |
| Heather's Tummy Fiber has been the best solution to my IBS. At first it made my tummy more gassy and crampy until my body adjusted. I used this along with reading her book and website articles and found I needed to cut more fatty foods from my diet as well as some other diet and lifestyle changes. Combining the good advice with this product has all but ended years of suffering with IBS. I found it mixes nicely with clear juice or water. With plenty of stirring, it disolves well. I now take 2 t. before every meal and it has changed my life. I even carry some in my purse. I can dine out without running directly to the bathroom after. Highly recommended. |
Even healthy digestive systems benefit
|
| Review Date: January 29, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Fratina, San Francisco Bay Area |
| I first bought Heather's Tummy Fiber in the hope it would help with a digestive disease I have (it is recommended for IBS sufferers, which isn't what I have, but soluble fiber helps with my disorder too). After using it with excellent results for a few weeks, I decided to add it to the morning smoothy our family drinks every weekday morning. Its taste and texture aren't noticeable, so no one objected. Everyone benefits from added fiber in the diet - it regulates the transit time of food through the digestive tract, stabilizes blood sugar levels, moderates cholesterol, and everyone in the family is doing very well with this gentle and reliable product. As long as Heather's company markets it, we'll be happy customers. |
Instant relief

| Review Date: April 29, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Amy Cubellis, Lynden, WA United States |
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".

| Reviewer: Sedona308, USA |
| I've been using this product for many months. My IBS-C is so much better! Taking Tummy Fiber doesn't make me nauseated like the medication my G.I. doctor prescribed for constipation. All my other symptoms of IBS are also better. I can't say enough great things about this product! |
Helping me a LOT

| Review Date: August 11, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Boyd Waters, Socorro, NM USA |
I've stopped using a couple of prescription drugs (in consultation with my doctor) by following a careful regimen that includes this Acacia fiber product.
Tasteless, mixes well, I add about 200 mg to yogurt in the morning with a dab of fruit juice on top. That's kept me going for three weeks, a great improvement so far. |
Great product

| Reviewer: Steph, Utah |
| Definitely has helped me control my IBS symptoms and feel better. I take it several times a day. Helps to stir it with a fork, or shake it up in a small tupperware or cup, but I don't mind the taste of it. I think selling it in the pouch was a good idea b/c it's cheaper than buying in the tin. I just store mine in a tupperware. Go through a pouch a month! |
Changed my life!

| Review Date: November 21, 2009 |
| Reviewer: John Mann, Orlando, FL USA |
| 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. |
A life saver!

| Reviewer: S. Hurlburt, Upstate, NY |
| After suffering with IBS and tummy issues for years from hormone changes and pregnancies, I was miserable and tried everything. At one point, I went to an acupuncturist who ordered me to buy a bag of Heather's Tummy Fibers. She charged $25, but I was willing to try anything and she said this stuff was amazing. I wholeheartedly agree! This stuff is amazing. Great fiber, 100% soluble, so it doesnt cause any other uncomfortable belly issues like other fibers do, it disappears in liquids and has no taste. I am absolutely hooked and feel better than I have felt in years. This is definitely worth trying if you are having belly issues. Start with 1/2 tsp 2x a day and then increase as needed. I truly can't say enough good things about this product! |

My secret weapon!!!

| Review Date: November 9, 2009 |
| Reviewer: C. M. Wilson, Portland, OR |
| This fiber is incredible. It has completely calmed all my symptoms: nausea, diarrhea, bloating and gas. It really has been life changing for me. I take it once a day, more if I start to feel bloated, and I take a teaspoon just before going out to eat or to have a few drinks -- it seems to help keep me from feeling as bad if I eat food I know could set me off. It's amazing the difference it's made for me...and not one medical expert recommended it to me! I found it here on the internet. Thank you, Heather! |
Battle of the Fibers!

| Review Date: November 9, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Obsidian, Seattle WA USA |
I had tried all the fibers and I didn't think I could stand to drink another thick, bad mouth feeling, bad tasting glass of fiber again. Ever! But when I got the diagnosis of IBS, I knew I HAD to have fiber. I had never heard of Heather's Acacia Fiber, but, so, well, OK, let's give it a try. I am so HAPPY to report that Heather's Acacia Fiber is TREMENDOUS!!!!! It is almost like just having a glass of water!!!!
Please do try this product. I just can't manage to give it enough praise in this little review. You just gotta' try it. |
Can't Live Without this Tummy Fiber
|
| Review Date: December 31, 2009 |
| Reviewer: vdavisoh, Cleveland, OH USA |
| This product is a great as all the reviews indicate. This product has changed my life. My stomach would bloat so much after meals that I was afraid to eat. After I started taking this product, my stomach feels so much better and my tummy is flat once again. It is tasteless so you can put it in the majority of the foods that you normally eat. I wish amazon.com would put this product on the subscribe and save plan. I would like to receive a pouch monthly. I highly recommend this product. |
Great fiber supplement
|
| Review Date: January 11, 2010 |
| Reviewer: J. Fruge, KC, Missouri United States |
| Heathers Tummy Fiber is an excellent fiber supplement. I've used this product for years and I think the acacia fiber is the secret to how gentle this product is. By "gentle", I mean that it does not cause the excessive gas and stomach pain other fiber supplements can cause. Initially, until your body adapts to using fiber supplementation you will feel a little bloated, and maybe even pain if you supplement too heavily. I don't have IBS, but I do like to supplement with fiber for its other health benefits. I think this is the best fiber on the market. I take 1 teaspoon of Heather's Tummy Fiber (approx 5g) each morning with orange juice. |

| Reviewer: Heidi H. Phillips, Springfield, MO |
| My 86-year-old mother suffered for years from irritable bowel syndrome, making countless trips to the emergency room for the pain and bloating. I talked her into using this Acacia Tummy Fiber, and now that she uses it faithfully she rarely has an attack of IBS. We used to buy it direct from Heather's IBS, but Amazon has a better price! |

| Reviewer: Mr. Joshua R. Tinnin, Taos, NM USA |
| Heather's acacia fiber is helping a friend a great deal who has had serious IBS or digestive issues for several years, and she's tried many different remedies and various fiber supplements which weren't as effective or just didn't work before now. I suspect I have IBS, too, though not as severe, and it helps my symptoms. I was skeptical but now am a regular customer. |

| Reviewer: Sommer Jones, Arizona |
| I love how easy this tummy fiber is to use and incorporate into foods and recipes. I have been using it now for over 2 weeks and just started doubling my dose from the original "start dose" on the package. This is my first purchase/try of Acacia Tummy Fiber, but I ordered just the 1lb refill bag because it was cheaper than the canister. I just keep the opened bag sealed with a clip and in a ziploc bag. I try to use it every day. So far I haven't seen any major problems or felt any problems. I have been more regular than usual, too. I have suffered from IBS for almost 10 years now and I am very pleased by Heather's books, website, and now her tummy fiber, too. My usual symptoms are less severe also. I can't wait to see how things progress as I increase my dosage. |

| Reviewer: Donald Greenwell, Ardmore, OK United States |
| I like it and will probably continue to use it , but the prebiotics mentioned on the label which say will help control flatulence, does not for me-- I even bought the fennel tea and peppermint capsules, but still high flatulence level. I also like the product Konsyl, it cost less and slightly less flatulence producing in me. |
No rating yet...but price is right
|
| Review Date: July 18, 2008 |
| Reviewer: M. Beattie, Albany, OR USA |
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. |

Worsened my IBS
|
| Review Date: December 13, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Gerri, Minneapolis, MN |
An IBS sufferer almost my entire life, I found Heather's website the most useful tool ever invented in the management of IBS. Her practical examples and thorough explanations were more productive than all the doctors I've ever consulted put together (and there have been many). Unfortunately, the Acacia Tummy Fiber just did NOT work for me. I followed all the directions given to no avail. Every time I ingested the solution I felt like I was on the verge of an IBS attack with abdominal cramps and spasms. The store I had bought it at promised to give me store credit since I had already opened the package. I called Heather's office (1-206-264-8069) and they agreed to work with the store for a full refund.
So even though the product did not work FOR ME, I have a lot of respect for Heather's knowledge and useful experience that she shares with IBS sufferers. |
didn't work for me

| Reviewer: Steve, San Francisco, CA United States |
| I tried Heather's Tummy Fiber. It made my IBS worse. I had more pain, cramping, gas, etc. and I gradually increased the amount. Also I found it expensive. I am now taking Fibersure. It has 5 grams of soluble fiber to a heaping teaspoon and its alot cheaper than Heathers. (And with Fibersure, there is a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied). I dumped what was left of Heather's tummy fiber down the drain. |
