Heather says:

Hi Lori - I'm so sorry you are not having good results. Please let us know your symptoms and current dose and we'll help.

For general advice here, there are two kinds of fiber, insoluble and soluble. Insoluble is a stimulant and can set off IBS symptoms, and if you have strictures it can cause intestinal blockages.

Soluble fiber won't do that - it can't. It's not a stimulant, it's a bowel motility regulator. It can't cause blockages, diarrhea, or constipation, but it also will not help you until you gradually work up to enough of it in your gut, 24/7, to regulate motility. In the meantime, everything else will keep impacting your gut and you will likely keep fluctuating day to day. The tummy fiber is 100% soluble fiber, it can't make anything worse, but it also will not help you with just the first dose or two, or first few days or two. For constipation, it likely won't help the first week or two either. This is because you are starting at a low dose that won't do anything at all, it is just to get your gut used to more fiber gradually. All fibers are indigestible, so you always want to increase fiber slowly and steadily,

Do not skip doses, do not jump your dose up and then down and then up and then down, do not skip days - none of this will work. This is a process, it can't be erratic, it takes some time and patience, and you have to follow the process consistently, day in and day out, or soluble fiber will not do what you want it to do.

You need to start with just ½ teaspoon twice daily and then gradually increase. Add an extra ½ teaspoon to just one of your doses, every 3-4 days. So add an extra ½ teaspoon to your morning dose, wait 3-4 days and then add an extra ½ teaspoon to your evening dose, wait 3-4 days and then increase your morning dose again, etc. You'll keep following that pattern and gradually work up to the dose your gut needs for normal motility. A rough average final dose for diarrhea is 1-3 Tablespoons per day total, for alternating diarrhea/constipation probably 2-3 Tablespoons per day total, and constipation a likely 3-5 Tablespoons per day total. That shows you the huge dose range, and also how far you will likely have to increase from the starting dose of just ½ teaspoon twice a day.

The fiber cannot make anything worse, but again, until you gradually work up to enough of it in your gut, it won't help you either, because it has to reach the point where it can control your bowel motility. You just will not have enough of it in your gut to affect you at all until you have worked your way far enough into the process.

I will tell you candidly it will probably take you a few months to work up to the dose you would need to resolve chronic constipation, and in the meantime you'll still have symptoms, and you may need to use laxatives if you're already doing that. You should see improvements kick in as you gradually get your dose up around 3 tablespoons per day total, and then you'd keep gradually increasing until you feel stable day and day out. You can't just jump to this dose though - fiber does not work that way. I wish it did! But you have to gradually get your gut used to more fiber, and then reach the point you need for motility regulation. Once you hit that you stay at whatever that dose is, morning and evening, as soluble fiber literally only works when it is physically present in your gut.

XOXO

Seems to have made a big difference.
I've been using this can of loose soluble fiber for about 3 weeks. Just about 1 teaspoon a day mixed in with yogurt or cereal. And I've stopped hurting and no longer have loose stools. This is coinciding with all home cooked meals, and more walking during stay at home pandemic times, which might also contribute to my gut settling down, but I think the daily soluble fiber and occasional fennel tea are really helping. I was miserable a month ago with gut pain and diarrhia.

Hi Sandra - I'm so sorry to hear this. You are welcome to return anything at any time for any reason, so no worries.

I will tell you candidly you have not been using the fiber for a long enough period of time to have gradually increased your dose to what your gut needs to regulate motility. This is a process, and it can take some patience, which I know is easier said than done.

Hi Lynn - I'm so sorry you just had an attack. I hope you are feeling better soon. The tummy fiber is not meant to stop an attack. It is a preventative, and you have to start at a low dose twice daily, gradually increase, and keep slowly increasing until you reach the point where you are stable, and not having attacks. The fiber only works when there is enough of it in your gut to gently force normal motility, and that will prevent attacks from happening.

If you are suddenly hit hard and need immediate help, that's when you need to go to the peppermint tummy tea (for pain, spasms, cramps, urgency) or the fennel tummy tea (for bloating and gas). The teas work very quickly to calm your gut and stop symptoms. The fiber is a daily process and you have to gradually work up to a high enough dose to actively keep your gut calm and prevent symptoms, it is not something you can just take as needed in the midst of an attack as it unfortunately won't work that way. It won't hurt at all, but it won't work the way you are wanting it to.

My IBS runs from severe diarrhea to constipation and I have despaired of being normal again. But this stuff is working. It is a slow process, building up to being able to take enough to alleviate symptoms, but I am up to a tablespoon a day and my constipation is sloooowly disappearing and I am comfortable again. I have had NO DIARRHEA since I began the regimen and NO CRAMPING! And I am back to successfully eating sourdough bread (my problem is not gluten even though I have been off it for 3+ years on the advice of my gastroenterologist).

6 weeks on and definitely noticing change for the better
I have been using this product now for 6 weeks, I started on a low dose ( 1/4 teaspoon ) twice a day and have increased to 1 teaspoon twice a day, it has definitely helped me with urgency and diarrhea, I feel like it has a calming effect on my bowel. Like anything you need to slowly adapt and give it time.

Feedback Rating

Hi Rita - I'm so sorry to hear this. The fiber can't cause cramping or diarrhea, soluble fiber is only a motility regulator. But - you also have to have enough of it in your gut to work, and you have to get to that dose gradually. The normal ½ teaspoon twice daily starting dose won't do anything - it's just to get your gut used to more fiber. Then you gradually increase from there - adding an extra ½ tsp to one of your daily doses, every 3-4 days. Lower doses won't make things worse, but they also won't stop diarrhea or prevent other triggers from hitting your gut hard. An average daily dose for diarrhea typically ends up about 1-2 tablespoons per day. Please keep me posted!

Heather says:

Hi Mary - I am so sorry you are struggling. Did you start at ½ teaspoon twice daily? You want to stay there for 3-4 days, and then add an extra ½ tsp to just one of your doses. Wait 3-4 days and then increase your other dose by an extra ½ tsp. Follow that process, go slow and steady, and as you gradually get your fiber dose up it should resolve the frequent BMs. If you go too quickly that can cause gas, so that means drop your dose and go more gradually with increases. Slow and steady will win this race. Please keep us posted.

Hi Patricia! You can substitute for the egg in most of the baking recipes - for the quick breads you could probably just eliminate them, for others try subbing in Ener-G Egg Replacer. You can get this at any grocery store, it's vegan and IBS safe, and works well. For dishes where eggs are the main part (scrambles and such) you could sub silken tofu, mashed with a fork. If there are specific recipes you're struggling with just let me know.

It was obvious you live in a large metropolitan area where it is easy to find things. The information part of the book was very helpful and I am picking up tips from recipes but not too many. And way too many carbs in the desserts for anyone who has to watch weight/sugar intake.

Hi Kathleen - thanks so much for your feedback! Please don't feel restricted by ingredients - you can omit or substitute for things you can't obtain. I actually wrote this book while living in rural New England, with ingredients I'd been able to easily find for years in other areas of the country as well. If there is something specific tripping you up, please let me know and I'll help. I tried to make the recipes as wide ranging and comprehensive as possible, but you can certainly stick to the traditional all-American options and familiar favorites if you wish. You can also halve just about all the recipes to make smaller meals.

Sugar is not a health food, but also not an IBS trigger, so the dessert recipes will use real sugar. It's best to just avoid sweets or stick to small portions if you are limiting sugar - don't replace that with artificial sweeteners, as those are huge GI triggers.

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Glenda - I'm so sorry you are having trouble. Please know that the Tummy Fiber cannot cause diarrhea (or constipation). It is just 100% soluble fiber, which is a bowel motility regulator. It does have to be used twice daily, and you have to start at a low dose and increase gradually. You continue to increase gradually until you reach the dose you need in your gut to keep motility stable. That may be several teaspoons to several tablespoons per day, total. But you can't start at the dose you'll end up needing to reach, you have to start low and increase gradually.

You may get or continue to have diarrhea until are able to get your fiber dose up to the level you need. It's not a drug, so it will not work overnight. You should see improvements as your dose increases, and then complete resolution of the diarrhea as you continue. Unfortunately, you can't rush the process.

Please let us know any other questions or if you continue to have problems.

Hello David - I'm so sorry to hear this. Please do make sure that were using the fiber twice daily, and that you started at a low dose of just 1/2 teaspoon twice daily but gradually increased that every few days. For diarrhea you may have to gradually work up to 1-3 Tablespoons per day total, but if you resolve at a lower dose then just stay there. If you gradually worked up your dosage but just saw no improvements at all, please check in with your GI doc as that could be a red flag for something other than IBS.

Feedback Rating

Hi Marianne - the Tummy Fiber will resolve IBS diarrhea and/or constipation, but you have to gradually reach the dose your gut requires for that. The Tummy Fiber is a pure soluble fiber, so it is a bowel regulator, which means it regulates bowel contractions and water content. It cannot turn diarrhea to constipation or vice versa. You will need to gradually get your twice daily dose up to the level your bowel needs for stability. That will be a lower end for diarrhea, a higher end for constipation, and if you normally alternate between d and c your dose range will likely end up in the middle.

If you are prone to diarrhea and that has not resolved, that means you need to continue to gradually increase your dose until there is enough soluble fiber in your gut to normalize motility. When you reach that dose, stay there for maintenance.

Best,
Heather

Works great for me and taste great too!
I eat enough fiber at breakfast & lunch so I only use the tummy fiber at dinner. I seem to only need 1 heaping teaspoon and I let it dissolve about 1/2 hour before taking just before eating. I also eat some more food with fiber with dinner.

I have suffered with IBS-D for years. Luckily I stumbled onto Heather's website about a year ago. Everything I read online made sense, so I purchased the fiber. I had nothing ti lose. It has made my life dramatically better. I still have occasional issues, but I think that's when I veer from the food list. I read the emails & blogs all the time and I am so thankful everyday for Heather's products & knowledge.

Excellent product, performs as advertised, no taste or smell.
After reading The First Year, and Cure Constipation Now by Dr W Jones, I started Dr Jones's protocol using Citrucel and was very happy with my results. I wasn't happy with ingesting all that sugar so have switched over to acacia fiber without any adverse effects. I'm using 2 tsp 3 times per day and am very satisfied with my results. I will definitely reorder this product.

So far, so good!
So far this tummy fiber is working out well for me. I was using Metamucil, but found that it made me gassy, so I finally decided to try Heather's tummy fiber. I followed the directions and started slowly, increasing the amount I used every few days. I'm up to 1 teaspoon a day and I think that is what is going to work best for me. Thank you for this great product! I will be ordering the travel packets soon!

I've been using this product about 3 weeks now and it has made a huge difference in my life! I'm taking it slowly as wind in my colon has always been a problem. I started with the recommended dose and am now taking 1 tsp twice daily. My diarrhea has slowed from up to 6 times per day to 1 or 2 normal movements a day. I have been able to stop taking loperamide each day also. Thank you for a wonderful product that has given me back my freedom from the loo!!!

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Sharon - thank you so much for your feedback. Eating for IBS is completely dairy free (dairy is a huge IBS trigger), but it is not gluten free. Most IBS folks do not have a gluten intolerance as well, so I wanted to make the book as broad as possible. It is certainly possible to eat safely for both IBS and celiac, so please do combine those needs.

I do not have a cookbook that is gluten free but there is a lot of information and some recipes on the site that fit the bill. I'm so sorry I don't have a perfect solution for this.

Don't like this product, eh!

Sorry Heather, this product jam's me up. Maybe it works for other's, I can't live with a product that takes to long to adjust to, my system is slow to begin with, just me I guess!

Speed of Delivery

Heather says:

Hi William - I'm so sorry to hear this! It is a gradual, steady process to get your Tummy Fiber dose up high enough to resolve constipation. That can often take 3-5 tablespoons per day, total. Lower doses won't worsen constipation, but they might not resolve it, either. The fiber literally has to be in your gut to stabilize motility.

If you are unable to use the fiber please do return for a full refund.

I've only been doing this for a couple weeks. It's hard to tell if it's working or not yet. Some issues are calming down. Other's, are hopefully getting there. I'll be able to dive more into the books once my current class is finished. However, taking the fiber is easy. Thank you!

Tummy Fiber is so much better than what the dr prescribed. So easy to take!
I love how is isn't gritty, and how easily it dissolves! I add it to lots of different things, but do like taking it with water the best. It seems to be helping, but I think I need to take it longer. Plus I do have Heather's Cooking for IBS, so I'm trying to eat better too. Thanks so much Heather!

No change yet

5 days into it and still giving it some time but I have not yet received any benefits I was hoping for.

Speed of Delivery

Heather says:

Hi Doreen - thank you so much for your feedback. Please give the fiber at least a few weeks, as you need to start at a low dose and increase gradually. You may work your way up to a tablespoon or two per dayfor diarrhea, or all the way up to four or five tablespoons per day for constipation. But you can't rush this - you have to start with just 1/2 teaspoon twice daily, and increase gradually.

You should see improvements as you go along, and as that happens just keep gradually increasing your dose until you feel truly stable day to day. That's the dose where you would stay.

Please keep us posted!
