Here's what I found Heather said about orange flavored SFS (in the Common Pitfalls section near the bottom of the page:
Quote:
In addition, citric acid is often added to orange-flavored supplements, and this can cause acid reflux in susceptible people (though it doesn't typically bother IBS).
I thought the citric acid would be bad for IBS, too, but apparently not necessarily. (If I'm one of the people who told you orange flavored SFS would be bad, I apologize.)
I use acacia, 8 teaspoons a day (20 grams of SF). That's considered high for someone who is IBS-D like me, but it works wonders and I definitely feel the difference if I don't take it for a couple of days. Acacia and Benefiber seemed the two gentlest, least gloopy SFS. I tried Benefiber, but it bothered me, so Acacia it was. Plus, Heather's approach to IBS gave me my life back and therefore I liked the idea of buying one of her products.
HTH.
