Got my life back! Love these products!
Like others, I suffered with IBS diarrhea for years. At times worse than others and with some embarrassing moments. 8 weeks before a long trip with lots of flights, I hit bottom. Was sure I was going to have to cancel. Another trip to the GI Doc, more neg tests and another prescription in hand for more antispasmodics, I began my web search. Found Heather's site and ordered my starter kit. Read her book and started following the diet religiously, drank the tea and started the fiber twice daily. In 2 weeks, I finally rarely had explosive diarrhea. I was able to go on my trip and only suffered one mils episode. I happily follow the diet now and take my fiber. Such an easy product to use and the travel packs make it handy. I no longer miss the foods I used to eat. I don't mind taking the fiber....because I can safely leave my house again. So nice to know all my triggers. I had already figured many of the obvious ones, but now I know them all. The fiber is easy to mix when you follow the directions. And since it really has no taste, can mix it in everything! Sooooo grateful!

Dear Heather and Team,
I have been with you for many years using your Acacia products, Fennel and Peppermint teas. The quality is so fresh and pure when you receive it. The delivery is so fast and the discounted offers that come to my email are great. They prompt me when there is a good deal that I cannot pass up. I recently had surgery and they kindly expedited my delivery to accommodate my situation. The customer service is wonderful and Heather is a great role model for all of us with IBS. Thank you for your products—they really work. Also, thank you for making them affordable, especially for seniors with your periodic sales!

Taking it v-e-r-y slowly but pleased so far.
I have tried many products for my digestive problems and usually go too fast, ending up with more bloating and pain than before. SO, this time I am going v-e-r-y slowing with the Acacia, and I really LOVE the travel packets. I actually use them at home because it's a quick and easy way to take the product without having to worry about measuring dosages. Also easy to stash in my purse for use when dining-out.

Your products have make a huge difference in my life.
The pain & diarrhes that plagued me for years from IBS are under control. My diet has changed because of your book & my specialist-who said I must keep a food diary. Together I am almost pain free. If I have an upset, I can handle it quickly. Your tea helps a lot. The powder goes on my breakfast every AM. I have recommended all yur products to 2 friends with similar problems-even giving them some of my supply to try out. They thanked me with joy.

Unimpressed

This product gave me gas even in small amounts; therefore, I wasn't able to build up to a high enough dose to do much for my relatively mild IBS-D. I will wait awhile and try it again, but so far I haven't been impressed. I do better with a high-quality probiotic and, when needed, a little psyllium husk stirred into juice or water.

Hi Sharon - I'm so sorry to hear this. Some people do have to start at an extremely low dose and gradually increase to get their gut used to extra fiber. You may want to start at just 1/8 teaspoon twice daily, and add an extra 1/8 teaspoon to one of your doses every 4-5 days or so.

It can also be helpful to add the fiber to moist foods instead of liquids. For people who are particularly prone to bloating and gas this can make a big difference.

If you remain unhappy with the fiber please do return it for a full refund.

Best,
Heather

Heather says:

Hello Karen,

Thank you so much taking the time to write a review of our Tummy Fiber.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed the speed of your delivery and that our customer service has been helpful.

I’m so sorry that you have encountered some troubles with our Acacia Tummy Fiber. I would note that it is best to take a consistent dose each day so your body can adjust to the dose, and see if that amount is working for you, rather than fluctuating between high and low doses quickly. If you were just starting on the Acacia, I would tell you to gradually increase the dosage for this reason.

If, at any time, for any reason whatsoever, you are not completely satisfied with anything purchased through this website, simply return it with the invoice for a full refund, excluding shipping costs. There is no time limit.

You are welcome to return just part of an order, such as one or two items from a kit. You do not have to return an order in full if you would like to keep some but not all of the products.

Please include along with your return your name, address, phone number and a copy of your invoice if you have it, as well as a brief reason for the return so that we may continually improve our services and products.

Returns will normally be processed one to two weeks after receipt. If you provided an email address with your order you will be emailed a refund confirmation.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you in the future.

Thanks again Karen.
Best,
Emily

Hi Ginger - thank you very much for your kind product review! I saw your comments about sometimes missing a day or two, and that you're not sure what to do in that situation.

You can just resume your Tummy Fiber at the dose you were on. A day or two is not enough of time off the product to affect your gut's comfort level with your current dose. If you stopped taking it for several months, then you might have to start back in with a lower dose and gradually increase.

Hope this helps!

Hi Jane! You are right, the Tummy Fiber dissolves best in room temperature water, not very hot or very cold liquids. If you want to add it to hot liquids, there is an easy way around this. Add the fiber to your empty cup, then add just enough room temp liquid to liquefy it. Once it's liquefied, you can add boiling hot or ice cold liquids to fill the glass. Hope this helps, Heather

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hello Leanne,

I'm so sorry you're having difficulty getting the Tummy Fiber to dissolve. The Tummy Fiber is certified organic, all natural gum of the acacia tree – also known as gum arabic. We have actually sourced the exact same organic Acacia Senegal grade from the same supplier from the time our company was founded. It is collected much like maple syrup, though the gum is more a solid than a liquid. They are amber colored, crystal-like pieces; these pieces are what the acacia gum looks like when it is collected from the outside of the tree. The gum is then dissolved in water, filtered, and the liquid is sprayed onto very large heated surfaces to sterilize the fiber and so the water can evaporate. What's left after the water evaporates is the fine, white powder that is acacia fiber.

There are no chemicals used in processing the acacia, and every step from the orchards to the processing to our packaging facility is certified organic. Because this is a natural gum with nothing added, and not a synthetic product that is highly processed, the grain size of the finished powder can vary from lot to lot, and even within a single lot. Even though we have specs in place for the grain size to be consistent and the optimum granularity for dissolving easily in liquids, during the packaging process the conveying and vibrating activities can sometimes separate out larger grains of the gum. This can result in a handful of finished packages of Tummy Fiber that have larger or more irregular grain sizes, which can then take longer to dissolve in liquids.

I'm including a list of tips we've come up with over the years to help fully dissolve the acacia in liquids or moist foods.

TIPS TO DISSOLVE TUMMY FIBER

1) It works best if the liquid temperature is cool or lukewarm, not very cold or boiling hot

2) Add Tummy Fiber to an empty cup, mix it with add just enough liquid to dissolve it, then add the remaining liquid

3) Stir with a fork instead of a spoon

4) After stirring initially, let it sit for about 60 seconds, then stir again and any remaining lumps should dissolve

5) Sprinkle on moist foods while stirring it in instead of adding a big spoonful all at once

6) A customer recently wrote us to say that he uses a Cuisinart Quick-Prep hand held blender to mix up his Tummy Fiber in just a few seconds.

If you are still unable to use the Tummy Fiber and are at all unhappy, please let us know and we will replace or refund the product.

love the acacia
I've been using the tummy fiber for over a year. This fiber has saved my life! It took a few months to see full results, so it's important to stick with it. With the acacia and life style changes with food and exercise I don't have any flare ups any more. Accept when I make poor food choices. But with the fennel and peppermint teas I am able to recover within 24 hours instead of days or weeks. Diet and exercise are so important in maintaining a healthy gut along with the acacia fiber. Thank you so much for your wonderful products. They are a blessing to me.

I have been using Heather's Tummy Fiber for years and it has made my life a whole lot smoother (no pun intended). I would not be without it or use anything else. The travel packs would be a lot more useful to me if they contained a TBS rather than just a TSP., but that is a minor thing. I just pour some in ziplock bag when I am traveling. The Fennel Tea is wonderful and very helpful. I always have some of that and the Peppermint Tea on hand. And Heather is a beautiful sweetheart.

Heather says:

Hi Marion,

I'm so pleased that the acacia fiber has been working well for you!

Postage to Canada is always more expensive because it has to cross the border. Our shipping rates are based on the average cost to ship when we examined 6 months of order history. Occasionally, someone might pay a little more or a little less than the actual shipping charge, but in the end we sometimes break even. We do not, nor do we want to, make a profit on shipping.

Our shipping policies are detailed on the website here http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/shipping.asp and there is also a specific shipping price provided on the checkout page when you order online.

We completely understand customers' frustrations with shipping prices, because they just keep going up. USPS has raised the prices for priority mail shipping twice in the last eighteen months. This means we have to keep increasing our shipping prices as well. It is simply not feasible to charge customers the actual shipping cost for each order. There are too many variations in flat rate versus variable rate packaging, size, and weight issues. It is the industry standard to create a shipping fee schedule based on the average cost of shipping per item (www.amazon.com does this as well).

There is no less expensive means of shipping that we're aware of. FedEx and UPS are both as expensive (or more) than priority mail, and they usually take longer for delivery as well.

We reduce the prices of the products on the website from the suggested retail price to help offset the cost of shipping.

We do have a Canadian distributor in Simcoe, ON that will ship anywhere in Canada:

Norfolk Holistic Foods
17 Peel St
Simcoe, ON N3Y 1S1
Canada
(519) 426-9309
www.norfolkholistic.ca

US orders should normally be received 2-5 business days after shipping out; foreign orders normally arrive within 7-10 business days, unless they are held in Customs.

Thanks again for your feedback, Marion.

Heather says:

Hi Tracey,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our Acacia Tummy Fiber.

We appreciate your high marks in customer service! We want to apologize if there was any delay or issues with your delivery. Normally orders will ship the following business day and are delivered within 2-5 business days. If there was an unexpected delay with your order, we do apologize.

Please feel free to call or email us in the future if you continue to have problems with any future orders.

Depending on your symptoms, it may take several weeks to reach a resolving daily dose of the Tummy Fiber. Taking too much acacia too fast can cause increased gas and bloating. Acacia is one of the lowest gas-forming fibers out there and going slow makes the gas issue totally avoidable. Please be patient because the results can be really effective.

We recommend starting with ½ teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon). You can split the daily dose up as many time as you like throughout the day, just divide it by 2 or 3 depending on the frequency you prefer. Try to increase the dose every 4th day or so by a teaspoon (add this to the daily dose).

If you get increased gas and bloating by jumping the dose up by a teaspoon, try cutting this in half. Some people with IBS are so sensitive they have to go up at ¼ teaspoons every 4th day. Keep stepping up the dose every 4th day or so until you find a dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea. Constipation is usually resolved with a daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea/loose stools usually resolves at a lower dose of 1-3 tablespoons/day. You shouldn't take more than 5 tbsp/day. The maintenance dose is different for each person depending on their specific symptoms. Dietary changes are often necessary to make lasting changes. In the beginning until you stabilize, it works best to take the acacia before each meal to minimize the effect of trigger foods in the meal and to calm the intestines before the food arrives.

Please feel free to return the Acacia Tummy Fiber at any time if you are still unhappy with the product.

Thanks again for the feedback Tracey!

Hope you find this helpful,

Emily

I can see that Heather wants to help us with high quality products, so I come back here even though there are cheaper acacia powders out there. It's not worth the risk of pain to even try them.

Heather says:

Hello Phillip,

I'm so sorry you're having difficulty getting the Tummy Fiber to dissolve. The fiber in the stick packs is the exact same fiber we use in our larger containers.

Here is a list of tips we've come up with over the years to help fully dissolve the acacia in liquids or moist foods.

TIPS TO DISSOLVE TUMMY FIBER

1) It works best if the liquid temperature is cool or lukewarm, not very cold or boiling hot

2) Add Tummy Fiber to an empty cup, mix it with add just enough liquid to dissolve it, then add the remaining liquid

3) Stir with a fork instead of a spoon

4) After stirring initially, let it sit for about 60 seconds, then stir again and any remaining lumps should dissolve

5) Sprinkle on moist foods while stirring it in instead of adding a big spoonful all at once

6) A customer recently wrote us to say that he uses a Cuisinart Quick-Prep hand held blender to mix up his Tummy Fiber in just a few seconds.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further issues.

Best,

One problem is its lack of taste.I now take it with flavoured water. I take a level spoonful and am still gauging the best quantity.

Hello Kenneth,

I am so sorry you do not like that the Tummy Fiber is tasteless. It is meant to be that way so you can add it to plain water, or flavored liquids, and not even know it is there.

You may want to try mixing it into moist foods such as oatmeal, soups, cereals, adding it to smoothies or sprinkling it onto sandwiches or other foods.

If you would like to continue taking it with flavored water, make sure the flavored water does not have any artificial sweeteners or carbonation. Sometimes the flavored waters do have those and can actually trigger IBS symptoms.

I also see that you were not completely satisfied with our Customer Service or Speed of Delivery. I am so sorry about that! Both are very important to us. We aim to get all orders out the next business day after they are placed and use Priority Mail for the fastest and least expensive shipping methods we know.

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our Customer Service and Speed of Delivery on orders we would gladly accept them.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do.

All the best,
Joanna

Purchased for my mom who has diarrhea & constipation from IBS. Been taking for 3 weeks to experience which dosage may help to make her regular. In 3 weeks nothing has changed with her diarrhea or constipation

Hello Darla,

I am so sorry your mom is not satisfied with the product.

The cardinal rule with Acacia is to start at a low dose (for Acacia, just 1/2 a level measuring teaspoon, twice daily), and increase gradually. It can take several weeks to slowly work your way up to your daily resolving dose.

Acacia is not a laxative, and it will not give "overnight relief", so taking a low dose for a few days or even a few weeks will not alleviate your symptoms. What it will do is begin to acclimate your gut to a higher daily dose of fiber, and this is the goal. It may be that your mom still needs to keep increasing in order to see the results she is looking for.

Generally those with the diarrhea side of IBS will resolve between 1 and 3 Tablespoons a day. Those with constipation need more fiber for relief and may need 3-5 Tablespoons a day. My guess is since your mom alternates between the two, she may need to reach a daily dose between 2 and 4 Tablespoons a day.

If she is still not satisfied, she is welcome to send back the Tummy Fiber for a refund.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do or if you have any further questions.

All the Best,
Joanna

No difference.
I really do not see any noticeable difference and I'm almost to the bottom of the canister. Adding it to food wasn't appealing and mixing it with water wasn't much better. It never fully dissolves no matter how long it sits or I stir it. I do not have the typical constipation or diarrhea, but gas, bloating, pain and food intolerance. For these symptoms it did not help at all. I ordered the pouch at the same time and really don't want to use it. I'm sorry I ordered both at the same time.

Am gradually upping dosage of product. Still testing.
So far the tummy fiber has not produced a desired result. I am having much constipation with it, although not diarrhea (which I had before). 2 tsps twice a day seems too little, but 1 tblsp twice a day too much.

Acacia has changed my life.
After suffering for years from constipation, stomach aches and laxatives, Acacia has given me back my freedom from sick stomach days of lying on the couch. If used DAILY, it will positively work. Here's a tip: when mixed into cold liquid, let it sit for 5-10 minutes. It will dissolve and be much easier to drink. Cheers!

Feedback Rating

Hi Michel - you are right, the Tummy Fiber dissolves best in room temperature water, not liquids that are boiling hot or ice cold. But, you can liquefy the fiber in just enough water to get it dissolved, and once it's liquefied you can add it to boiling or iced liquids and it will be fine.

The other fibers on the market that dissolve instantly across all temperatures are very highly processed, and are typically refined by-products of other food manufacturing processes (like dextrin from wheat or corn). They are not whole foods fibers like the acacia. The acacia senegal is literally the entire gum acacia produced by the tree (a little like syrup from maple trees) and it is not highly refined or extracted into multiple elements. This makes it a much higher quality, and we think a much better, soluble fiber supplement choice.

You can also just sprinkle the fiber on any moist food and not bother with adding it to liquids if you wish.

Thank you again for your feedback!

Best,
Heather

The tummy fiber has done a great job at keeping my IBS symptoms at a minimum. Of course at times, which few and far between, I have an attack but Heather's advice and the tummy fiber get me back on track quickly. This delivery was superior and the packages arrived in pristine condition. Thank you Heather. I recommend this company and their products.
