Re: Intro and where to find Acacia Gum in the UK?       12/30/03 01:24 PM Edit Reply Quote Shellsbells Reged: 12/16/03 Posts: 218 Loc: NW England, UK Hi, I'm in the UK too, but I haven't seen a specialist - just my GP. He said to me two keys: STRESS and SOLUBLE FIBRE. I'd start by reading ALL the info you can on this site - Heather has explained what IBS is and how it can be managed in more detail and far better than any UK doctor. Her information is fully backed up by the most recent info on IBS via NHS Direct online and BBC Health online: www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk and www.bbc.co.uk/health Do a search on IBS to access the correct pages on both these sites - they say the same as heather - IBS is not caused by stress but is exacerbated by it AND the key is to avoid triggers to your oversensitive gut (triggers are high fat foods, coffee, stress, dairy products, insoluble fibre and ALCOHOL and SMOKING!!!). This may sound a little overwhelming at first but it's really not - just read the info on this site. IBS CAN be managed. There are loads of helpful people on these boards who will give you lots of support and advice when you need it. Acacia - I couldn't find it in the UK. You can order it online from this site. It arrives quickly and well packaged (I just got mine) and after trying other soluble fibres I can only say IT's FANTASTIC - I'm noticing the effects after only 1 day - and it's far more palatable than any other soluble fibre i've seen. Hope this is helpful to you. Shellsbells My problems also started around 16/17 and the college/uni years Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
