One word: Amazing!!
This was seriously such a blessing to find! My daughter was recently diagnosed with IBS. I happened to find Heather's Tummy Care while searching for answers to my bazillion questions about IBS-D and ordered the starter kit. The books are a must have for those wanting to learn more about IBS. So much healthful and easy to read information! When my daughter was diagnosed I felt like I had no idea where to start. After reading Heathers book, I feel so much more empowered and knowledgeable about IBS. And the peppermint tea and acacia fiber are absolute lifesavers! And on top of that, the customer service that Heather and her team offer is beyond superb. When I placed my first order, it came slightly damaged (at no fault of theirs) and they quickly went above and beyond to ship a new item to me. Following up with sincere effort and attention to make it right. It is clear that they genuinely care about their customers in every way. I cannot recommend these products and books enough!

Basic tasty recipes
This book made me love food again!! I used to love cooking before I got IBS, until now. I like how the recipes are simple and healthy. It matches the traditional IBS dietary advice given by my doctor. It is slightly out dated, some recipes call for fat free mayo which is hard to find now, or soy parmesan. I would love to see more

Heather says:
Hi Diana - I am so sorry to hear this. Please let us know details and we'll help. It takes a gradual increase from a low starting dose to resolve diarrhea/constipation - you may need to work up to 2-3T per day total for diarrhea, or 4-5 T total for constipation, but you only start with ½ tsp twice daily. And you have to increase gradually. Please let us help. XOXO Heather

I bought this product to treat constipation (side effect of medication). Also I needed something with no additives.

Have not noticed much improvement in constipation. I do tolerate the product. I have interstitial cystitis, not IBS.

Heather says:

Hi Donna -I'm so sorry to hear this, please hang in there, the tummy fiber won't help you until there is enough of it in your gut 24/7 to regulate motility. In the meantime everything that is impacting your gut will keep impacting it. It's a process to work up your dose, and if you just started that you're still on a very low end. Details:

There are two kinds of fiber, insoluble and soluble. Insoluble is a stimulant and can set off IBS symptoms, and if you have strictures it can cause intestinal blockages. The tummy fiber is pure soluble fiber so it won't do that - it can't. It's not a stimulant, it's a bowel motility regulator. It can't cause blockages, diarrhea, or constipation, but it also will not help you until you gradually work up to enough of it in your gut, 24/7, to regulate motility.

In the meantime, everything else will keep impacting your gut and you will likely keep fluctuating day to day. The tummy fiber is 100% soluble fiber, it can't make anything worse, but it also will not help you with just the first dose or two, or first few days or two. For constipation, it likely won't help the first week or two either. This is because you are starting at a low dose that won't do anything at all, it is just to get your gut used to more fiber gradually. All fibers are indigestible, so you always want to increase fiber slowly and steadily,

Do not skip doses, do not jump your dose up and then down and then up and then down, do not skip days - none of this will work. This is a process, it can't be erratic, it takes some time and patience, and you have to follow the process consistently, day in and day out, or soluble fiber will not do what you want it to do.

You need to start with just ½ teaspoon twice daily and then gradually increase. Add an extra ½ teaspoon to just one of your doses, every 3-4 days. So add an extra ½ teaspoon to your morning dose, wait 3-4 days and then add an extra ½ teaspoon to your evening dose, wait 3-4 days and then increase your morning dose again, etc. You'll keep following that pattern and gradually work up to the dose your gut needs for normal motility. A rough average final dose for diarrhea is 1-3 Tablespoons per day total, for alternating diarrhea/constipation probably 2-3 Tablespoons per day total, and constipation a likely 3-5 Tablespoons per day total. That shows you the huge dose range, and also how far you will likely have to increase from the starting dose of just ½ teaspoon twice a day.

The fiber cannot make anything worse, but again, until you gradually work up to enough of it in your gut, it won't help you either, because it has to reach the point where it can control your bowel motility. You just will not have enough of it in your gut to affect you at all until you have worked your way far enough into the process.

I will tell you candidly it will probably take you a few months to work up to the dose you would need to resolve chronic constipation, and in the meantime you'll still have symptoms, and you may need to use laxatives if you're already doing that. You should see improvements kick in as you gradually get your dose up around 3 tablespoons per day total, and then you'd keep gradually increasing until you feel stable day and day out. You can't just jump to this dose though - fiber does not work that way. I wish it did! But you have to gradually get your gut used to more fiber, and then reach the point you need for motility regulation. Once you hit that you stay at whatever that dose is, morning and evening, as soluble fiber literally only works when it is physically present in your gut.

There is also a video that explains how all this works down the page here https://www.heatherstummycare.com/p/suplmts_acacia-can/tummy-fiber-acacia-senegal-can/

It'[s super fortunate for me hat I found your website and book. I've had IBS for years and my gastro MD was still focused on physical anomalies rather than symptoms.

Incredible product for IBS-D
I developed post infectious IBS-d and have been battling it for 8 mos. After 18 tests and thousands of hours of research I found Heathers product and it has been a God send. Significantly reduced urgency and improved stool consistency from watery to firmer. Now I only consume soluble fiber and minimal insoluble fiber to reduce bathroom visits. I also recommend a high count CFU probiotic (50 billion+) after the antibiotics regimen. Also in combination with Heathers product I have been making my own mint tea to drink before meals, and taking HMO powder supplement from LayerOrigin. That supplement helps to rebuild a destroyed or compromised microbiome.

Best thing I've tried
I've been having issues for a little over a year. They can't find anything wrong but nothing moves in its own. With the prescription meds, I couldn't leave the house until afternoon. I've been trying and taking so many things to find relief. I've been in this for a few weeks now. I'm currently using a tsp in the morning and one at night. I'm finally feeling more like myself. I'm going regularly every morning, my bloating is way down and I don't feel like I'm pregnant with what we call my â€œpoop babyâ€�! I'm currently in a trip, and I'm so glad I bought the travel packs. I missed an evening the day we flew in, but I was still good in the morning! I have no need to try anything else.

Hi Geraldine - please check with your own doctor, but the Tummy Fiber is just 100% soluble fiber. Soluble fiber actually helps lower high blood pressure in hypertensives, it will not raise blood pressure or affect blood pressure negatively if you already have normal blood pressure. XOXO Heather

So I started adding too water, tastes gross in water but seems to do the trick as long as you use it twice daily! Better than using metamusil that just seems to make constipation worse!!

Heather says:

Hi Patricia - I'm so sorry, please hang in there, the tummy fiber usually takes some time to reall y help. It can't cause or worsen diarrhea or constipation, or flip one to the other, but it also won't help you until there is enough of it in your gut 24/7 to regulate motility. In the meantime everything that is impacting your gut will keep impacting it. It's a process to work up your dose and you are still on a very low end. Details:

There are two kinds of fiber, insoluble and soluble. Insoluble is a stimulant and can set off IBS symptoms, and if you have strictures it can cause intestinal blockages. The tummy fiber is pure soluble fiber so it won't do that - it can't. It's not a stimulant, it's a bowel motility regulator. It can't cause blockages, diarrhea, or constipation, but it also will not help you until you gradually work up to enough of it in your gut, 24/7, to regulate motility.

In the meantime, everything else will keep impacting your gut and you will likely keep fluctuating day to day. The tummy fiber is 100% soluble fiber, it can't make anything worse, but it also will not help you with just the first dose or two, or first few days or two. For constipation, it likely won't help the first week or two either. This is because you are starting at a low dose that won't do anything at all, it is just to get your gut used to more fiber gradually. All fibers are indigestible, so you always want to increase fiber slowly and steadily,

Do not skip doses, do not jump your dose up and then down and then up and then down, do not skip days - none of this will work. This is a process, it can't be erratic, it takes some time and patience, and you have to follow the process consistently, day in and day out, or soluble fiber will not do what you want it to do.

You need to start with just ½ teaspoon twice daily and then gradually increase. Add an extra ½ teaspoon to just one of your doses, every 3-4 days. So add an extra ½ teaspoon to your morning dose, wait 3-4 days and then add an extra ½ teaspoon to your evening dose, wait 3-4 days and then increase your morning dose again, etc. You'll keep following that pattern and gradually work up to the dose your gut needs for normal motility. A rough average final dose for diarrhea is 1-3 Tablespoons per day total, for alternating diarrhea/constipation probably 2-3 Tablespoons per day total, and constipation a likely 3-5 Tablespoons per day total. That shows you the huge dose range, and also how far you will likely have to increase from the starting dose of just ½ teaspoon twice a day.

The fiber cannot make anything worse, but again, until you gradually work up to enough of it in your gut, it won't help you either, because it has to reach the point where it can control your bowel motility. You just will not have enough of it in your gut to affect you at all until you have worked your way far enough into the process.

I will tell you candidly it will probably take you a few months to work up to the dose you would need to resolve chronic constipation, and in the meantime you'll still have symptoms, and you may need to use laxatives if you're already doing that. You should see improvements kick in as you gradually get your dose up around 3 tablespoons per day total, and then you'd keep gradually increasing until you feel stable day and day out. You can't just jump to this dose though - fiber does not work that way. I wish it did! But you have to gradually get your gut used to more fiber, and then reach the point you need for motility regulation. Once you hit that you stay at whatever that dose is, morning and evening, as soluble fiber literally only works when it is physically present in your gut.

There is also a video that explains how all this works down the page here https://www.heatherstummycare.com/p/suplmts_acacia-can/tummy-fiber-acacia-senegal-can/

I was disappointed you sent me a book published in 2000. I was seeking more current information. Has this book been updated ?

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hello Sharon - both books have been revised and updated repeatedly over the years. But in the publishing world, only a formal second edition will change the copyright dates (and that will change the ISBN numbers as well), and I have not done that. It's a big deal to change the ISBN numbers (that involves the publisher, the Library of Congress, and then all kinds of press/catalog updates). I'm the author, but not the publisher, and the original publishing house has been sold and resold several times at this point so I no longer have the same editor.

The most perishable info will always be prescription medication brands and details and brand name references for foods, etc., as products come and go off the market so fast in both those categories.

The dietary information, guidelines, recipes, etc. in the books would still be current. There has been no change to the fundamental principles of eating to keep the gastrocolic reflex calm - limiting stimulants/triggers such as fats, being cautious with stimulants such as insoluble fiber, using soluble fiber as a foundation to keep the gut calm, etc. The underlying pathology of IBS hasn't changed, nor has basic human anatomy and digestion, so the dietary guidelines needed to keep colonic motility stable remain unchanged.

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Janet - please let us know details and we'll help. We normally recommend starting with 1/2 teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon total). Every 4 days or so, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon to one of your daily doses. Alternate which dose you increase so you are going slow and steady.
You don't want to increase your dose too much, too quickly, as your gut needs to get used to any fiber increase gradually. All fibers are indigestible, so suddenly or drastically increasing your dose can cause bloating and gas.
Keep stepping up your dose every 3-5 days or so until you gradually reach the dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea.
In general, constipation resolves at 3-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea at a lower dose, typically 1-3 tablespoons/day. If your symptoms resolve at a lower dose than is typical, stay there. If you need more than the average dose, that is just fine, continue to gradually increase.
The fiber will work regardless of how you take it - added to plain water, sprinkled over moist foods, added to foods you cook, on an empty stomach, full stomach, etc. In general, it's usually most helpful to take the fiber right before or right in a meal as it will help keep your gut calm after you eat.
Please keep us posted.

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Diana - I'm so sorry to hear you had trouble. Please note the fiber is granulated to dissolve best in room temp liquids. For something like hot coffee, add the powder to dry cup first, add just barely enough room temp liquid (water, coffee, whatever) to liquefy, and then add the rest of the hot coffee. That will be much faster and easier. Or just add the powder directly into moist foods with meals, you don't have to have with liquids at all.
And just fyi, coffee is a huge GI irritant, even decaf, so be careful - see here https://www.helpforibs.com/news/coffee-ibs.asp It will be much easier on your gut to get caffeine if you need it from black or green tea.
You might try switching to adding the powder to breakfast/dinner foods to make this as easy as possible. If that's not a good option for you please do return for a full refund, no time limits, never a problem.

I bought the travel fiber packets and bring those with a small cup and water bottle when I go anywhere for several hours or more. I used to treat the IBS with over the counter remedies, which were worked but can't be used frequently. This is natural.

Heather says:

Hi Lynn - I'm so sorry, please hang in there, the tummy fiber cannot cause or worsen diarrhea or constipation, or flip one to the other, but it also won't help you until there is enough of it in your gut 24/7 to regulate motility. In the meantime everything that is impacting your gut will keep impacting it. It's a process to work up your dose of any soluble fiber supplement, and you are still on a very low end if it's only been two weeks.

There are two kinds of fiber, insoluble and soluble. Insoluble is a stimulant and can set off IBS symptoms, and if you have strictures it can cause intestinal blockages. The tummy fiber is pure soluble fiber so it won't do that - it can't. It's not a stimulant, it's a bowel motility regulator. It can't cause blockages, diarrhea, or constipation, but it also will not help you until you gradually work up to enough of it in your gut, 24/7, to regulate motility.

In the meantime, everything else will keep impacting your gut and you will likely keep fluctuating day to day. The tummy fiber is 100% soluble fiber, it can't make anything worse, but it also will not help you with just the first dose or two, or first few days or two. For constipation, it likely won't help the first week or two either. This is because you are starting at a low dose that won't do anything at all, it is just to get your gut used to more fiber gradually. All fibers are indigestible, so you always want to increase fiber slowly and steadily,

Do not skip doses, do not jump your dose up and then down and then up and then down, do not skip days - none of this will work. This is a process, it can't be erratic, it takes some time and patience, and you have to follow the process consistently, day in and day out, or soluble fiber will not do what you want it to do.

You need to start with just ½ teaspoon twice daily and then gradually increase. Add an extra ½ teaspoon to just one of your doses, every 3-4 days. So add an extra ½ teaspoon to your morning dose, wait 3-4 days and then add an extra ½ teaspoon to your evening dose, wait 3-4 days and then increase your morning dose again, etc. You'll keep following that pattern and gradually work up to the dose your gut needs for normal motility. A rough average final dose for diarrhea is 1-3 Tablespoons per day total, for alternating diarrhea/constipation probably 2-3 Tablespoons per day total, and constipation a likely 3-5 Tablespoons per day total. That shows you the huge dose range, and also how far you will likely have to increase from the starting dose of just ½ teaspoon twice a day.

The fiber cannot make anything worse, but again, until you gradually work up to enough of it in your gut, it won't help you either, because it has to reach the point where it can control your bowel motility. You just will not have enough of it in your gut to affect you at all until you have worked your way far enough into the process.

I will tell you candidly it will probably take you a few months to work up to the dose you would need to resolve chronic constipation, and in the meantime you'll still have symptoms, and you may need to use laxatives if you're already doing that. You should see improvements kick in as you gradually get your dose up around 3 tablespoons per day total, and then you'd keep gradually increasing until you feel stable day and day out. You can't just jump to this dose though - fiber does not work that way. I wish it did! But you have to gradually get your gut used to more fiber, and then reach the point you need for motility regulation. Once you hit that you stay at whatever that dose is, morning and evening, as soluble fiber literally only works when it is physically present in your gut.

There is also a video that explains how all this works down the page here https://www.heatherstummycare.com/p/suplmts_acacia-can/tummy-fiber-acacia-senegal-can/

Great ideas and recipes although I was looking for faster and simpler ideas, too.
I also have GERD so some of these recipes require ingredients that I can't tolerate such as tomato products of any form. BUT...as a suggestion to others, I discovered Papa Vince tomato sauce on Amazon and I can substitute any of the recipes that require tomato ingredients with this sauce. It has had the acid removed and for the first time in years I can eat foods and prepare recipes like the ones in this new cookbook. Thank you for this compilation of great recipes.

Lots of options
This is a very nice cookbook. Lots of options for cooks like me, who don't have tons of experience. Regular cookbook rely so much on frying. We can't eat that way and be safe! Some recipes build on others so you can get comfortable with techniques and then branch out. It's great having an entire arsenal of safe foods. The recipes are pretty adaptable for celiac sufferers, too. That is good for me and my family. There might be a few more shrimp recipes than necessary, but that's a minor complaint. The Jamaican chicken is so good. I am loving the simple rice porridge for days when nothing agrees with me. Haven't gotten to the desserts yet, but look out! This book is a good value for the number of recipes you get.

After seeing my Gastroenterologist and all tests coming back negative, my system was still out of wack. Although not actually diagnosed for IBS, I researched IBS and found Heather. Following Heather's simple instructions, my system has been restored and starting to become my normal. Throughout the month long episode during the Covid period, the mental security of Heather's manner stabilized my thinking and helped to relax my concerns.

Heather says:
Hi Jane - thank you for your feedback. It is good news that you got a diagnosis, and if it's just lactose intolerance and not IBS that should be really manageable by just avoiding the lactose. The tummy fiber can't hurt you but it definitely won't stop lactose intolerance, you'll want to steer clear of dairy for that. XOXO Heather

Ingredients in cookbook are not low Fodmap

Speed of Delivery

Heather says:

Hi Maryanne - that is correct, Eating for IBS is helpful for everyone with IBS as it is based on how the human gut reacts (or over-reacts) to foods across the board. FODMAPs is much more limited, it must be done with a registered dietitian supervising, it must be keyed to each individual, and about 30% of folks with IBS have no FODMAPS intolerances, so that is a useless diet for many.

I think of FODMAPS as the cherry on the IBS diet sundae. You need to get the universal trigger foods (stimulants, irritants) and soluble vs insoluble fiber guidelines down first, as those affect everyone's gut. That may be all the dietary changes you need. If you get that foundation established, and still have trouble (especially bloating), at that point try adding in FODMAP exclusions with a dietitian. Much more detailed info is here https://www.helpforibs.com/diet/fodmap-diet-ibs.asp

Please let us know how things go.
