In fact, your gut needs water in it just to function normally in general. This is especially critical for constipation.

You don't have to have a big glass of liquid right with the Tummy Fiber, as there is no choking risk. But you do have to have enough liquids throughout the day.

Anything that's non caffeine, non alcohol will count, it doesn't have to be plain water.

Try the peppermint tea on an empty stomach, and then a full stomach - that can make a big difference for people prone to heartburn, and oddly the preferences seem to go about 50/50 either way.

Best,
Heather
