Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: For those of you who love Acacia...

I've tried Metamucil on and off for years, before an IBS diagnosis because my doctors kept nagging me about getting more fiber and then after my IBS diagnosis because my doctor said fiber was a good idea. I could never stomach the grit, gloop, etc., so I'd take one dose, then not touch it again for months.

I tried Benefiber after finding Heather's diet because my endocrinologist uses it for her weight loss patients and I think she's a good doc. It was very takable - no grit, gloop, taste, etc. - but even at a low dose, it made my tummy feel funny, so I gave up on it pretty quickly.

I tried acacia partly because it seemed to be pure SF and partly because Heather sold it and my IBS had gotten so much better on Heather's diet that I was considering building a shrine to her in my front yard. I started low and went slow and I've never had a moment's trouble with it. Now that I've been careless about taking it ("but I'm doing so well, surely I don't really need all this SFS") and am back down to a low dose and building back up, my tummy really, really misses it - and it lets me know that every day.
