IBS Diet Kit #2 Eating for IBS, Tummy Fiber Acacia, Peppermint Caps

Product*	Lyn from Sun Valley, CA Purchased on 4/6/2012 Reviewed on 4/27/2012
So happy for the candid information in Eating For IBS.
I'm not even totally sure I have IBS, because none of the doctors/procedures/tests have been able to find anything wrong with me. My internist finally did suggest to my husband, when he went to his last visit, that maybe I have IBS. Since doctors haven't been any help with any of my health issues, I've been treating individual symptoms. So, my digestion problems are now the object of my research. I love your book, with the indepth solutions, and we've loved the recipes we have tried. Even my husband, who has no issues, is enjoying the new way of eating. I figure if IBS isn't my problem, this is still a healthy way of eating...win...win!

Bulk Acacia Kit - 3 Tummy Fiber Pouches

Product*	L.B. from Montclair, NJ Purchased on 4/6/2012 Reviewed on 4/27/2012
This website, but particularly, the Tummy Fiber rescued me from frequent (almost daily) and incredibly painful and debilitating attacks over a period of two months or so that kept me from going out.
Last fall, this website - particularly the Tummy Fiber and the fennel tea - rescued me from frequent (almost daily) and incredibly painful and debilitating attacks that kept me essentially housebound for two months. Until I discovered the website and the fiber and fennel tea, all prescription and non-prescription products had just exacerbated my symptoms. I'm incredibly grateful for the fiber, which I've now been taking for 6-7 months. At the outset I greatly appreciated the detailed instructions on the conntainer for initial dosing and gradual increase of daily fiber intake and the expected timetable for relief of specific ibs symptoms. This unusually detailed information may very well have been critical to the successful symptom relief. Finally, I always appreciate the staff's warm and pleasant response whenever I've called, whether to place an order or just ask a question. Thank you.

Not as effective in relieving my symptoms as I thought

I've only taken the tea for a few weeks. Consuming the product alone, I feel subtle relief, at best. The same can be said for over-the-counter product, Align; however, when taken together, they provide about 3 hrs of noticeable relief. This discomfort of IBS, by in large, continues to be a problem.

Feedback Rating

Hi Darrell - Sometimes it works best at first to almost overwhelm your gut with the fennel tea to get on top of the bloating and gas. I typically tell people to drink it all day long for at least the first few days. After that you can drop down to a reasonable amount and that should help keep the bloating under control. There is also full info and help for IBS bloating and gas here http://www.helpforibs.com/footer/bloating.asp that may give you some tips.

When you say discomfort, is this from bloating or do you think it is more of a spasms and cramping issue? If that is the case, the Peppermint Tummy Tea would be a better fit for you. Peppermint is best for pain and spasms and as a smooth muscle relaxant. Fennel is best for bloating and gas. You can also brew the two together right in the same cup if you wish.

You may also have better results trying the tea before, during, or after meals, as personal preferences really vary.

Taking a probiotic like Align is a good idea. It cannot hurt, and might well really help. Combining the probiotic with your tea or other treatments is just fine. It often takes a multi-prong approach to really help IBS.

If you remain unhappy with the Fennel Tummy Tea please do not hesitate to return it for a full refund.

Best,
Heather

Super delivery time; Easy way to add fiber to diet
I find it difficult to get 21 gr fiber in my daily diet without adding the fiber. I am up to 3 tsp/per day and am slowly working up to more.

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Carol - thank you very much for your feedback. It is not at all uncommon to need more than two weeks to see major improvements, especially if constipation is an issue.

For the Tummy Fiber Acacia to work properly, it's crucial that you start with a low dose (1/2 teaspoon twice daily) and gradually increase to a dose high enough to resolve constipation (which may be 4-5 tablespoons a day). If you got gas or bloating, that would mean you increased your dose too quickly. It can take several weeks to gradually increase up to the dose you'd likely need to resolve constipation, and unfortunately you can't rush this. Tummy Fiber is not a drug or a laxative so it won't work overnight.

I really feel for the constipation folks, as it takes some patience to start slowly, increase gradually, and eventually get your daily dose up high enough to resolve symptoms. A lower dose can't worsen constipation, but it won't resolve it, either. You may want to start over following these directions and see if you have better luck.

For the Tummy Tamers, if you have been using just one capsule a day go ahead and increase that to two or three capsules per day. That should help prevent pain, spasms, and cramps.

If you remain unhappy with any products at all, please feel free to return them at any time.

Please let me know if you have any other issues at all.

Heather

Heather says:

Hi Andrea - I'm so sorry to hear this. The average daily dose of people's Tummy Fiber varies tremendously, from a few teaspoons per day all the way up to five tablespoons per day. We tried to make the packets practical for the broadest range of people, especially since it is easier to use a few packets at a time than to try and divide and save for later part of one larger packet. If you are on the high end of the daily dose range you would definitely need more packets than someone with a low to medium daily dose.

The packets are really most practical when traveling, but for daily home use the canister and refill pouches are simpler.

I'm so sorry for any inconvenience.

It's also help to review the Five Constipation Frustrations here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/060705.html#askheather and, if you've been using laxatives, information on transitioning off them here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/06/082206.html#askheather

You can certainly eliminate sugar from your diet without affecting IBS one way or another. Sugar is not an IBS trigger, so I try to give people safe dessert recipes so they have a fun way to splurge without getting sick. But you can avoid it altogether if you wish.

White flour is trickier. Whole wheat flour contains wheat bran, which is insoluble fiber and a huge IBS trigger. For baking, white flour is the best and safest choice for IBS It has all the soluble fiber of whole wheat flour but none of the insoluble fiber. If you want to avoid it you can, but be cautious with whole wheat flour. If you're trying to focus on low glycemic and whole food soluble fiber staples, choose brown rice, oatmeal, buckwheat (soba) noodles, corn meal (polenta), quinoa, and barley - the whole grains that are safest for IBS - plus root vegetables.

Please let me know if this is helpful. If you remain unhappy with any products you are welcome to return them at any time.

My life has been transformed by use of your products and advice. However, in recent times the cost of postage and more regular delay and cost of import duty is becoming prohibitive. Hopefully you will soon have a UK distributor!!

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi, Anthony!

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. I'm so glad to hear our products are working for you.

I am so sorry to hear shipping and duty costs are becoming prohibitive. Our shipping rates are based on the average cost to ship when we examined 6 months of order history. Occasionally, someone might pay a little more or a little less than the actual shipping charge, but in the end we sometimes break even. We do not, nor do we want to, make a profit on shipping. Our shipping policies are detailed on the website here http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/shipping.asp and there is also a specific shipping price provided on the checkout page when you order online.

We completely understand customers' frustrations with shipping prices, because they just keep going up. USPS has raised the prices for priority mail shipping twice in the last eighteen months. This means we have to keep increasing our shipping prices as well. It is simply not feasible to charge customers the actual shipping cost for each order. There are too many variations in flat rate versus variable rate packaging, size, and weight issues. It is the industry standard to create a shipping fee schedule based on the average cost of shipping per item (www.amazon.com does this as well).

There is no less expensive means of shipping that we're aware of. FedEx and UPS are both as expensive (or more) than priority mail, and they usually take longer for delivery as well.

In addition, it has been our experience that Customs can hold packages for 6-8 weeks sometimes. This doesn't happen to all packages, but occasionally especially with larger orders, it can happen. A delay like this is especially likely to happen when there are Customs fees due upon delivery.

Unfortunately, we have no control over this or even any advance knowledge of what kinds of duties/taxes will be charged on goods once they leave the US.

There is a solid reason for the sudden change in UK customs charges, however. For years we filled out customs forms with just the lowest possible value of the raw materials, not the retail purchase price, to hopefully help prevent our customers from being charged extra duties and customs taxes. The customs forms were filled out in a standardized format for all foreign orders, so the prices listed were the same across the board for all orders shipped out, regardless of the country of destination. A few months ago, we were contacted by a UK customs official who stated that we could no longer do that. The value of goods on customs forms to the UK had to state the exact value of the goods as listed on the invoices. We have complied with that request, so that is likely now affecting the duties charged to UK customers. We were not given any more details by the officer who contacted us, and when we tried to follow up and get more information we never received a reply.

I'm so sorry about this. Foreign orders are always a frustration for us, because shipping is so expensive, and orders can be delayed for weeks in customs, and then on top of it all the customs/duties fees are so unpredictable and inconsistent. We do hope to pick up an EU distributor sometime soon, which would solve a lot of these problems for our customers. Until then, we are struggling with finding good solutions to all these issues, especially for our UK customers.

There are some European sites that carry our products and because they are ecommerce giants, they may offer more shipping options and hopefully something less expensive for UK customers. The one to try is http://www.vitaminsuk.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=568

This is a good product, however, it gives me heartburn even with meals.

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi, Jenoese!

Peppermint is contraindicated for people with GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn. Many people with IBS often have these conditions, so we worked around it by enteric coating the peppermint oil capsules. This helps them to pass through the stomach without dissolving by making them resistant to the stomach acid. In fact, we use 50% more enteric coating than the industry standard because we found it helped people with these conditions to be able to use them to manage their IBS without aggravating their upper GI issues.

However, some people with severe GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn still have problems with the peppermint capsules because they will dissolve in the stomach before reaching the intestines. The antispasmodic effect you want to happen in your intestines will then occur in the stomach and this relaxes the sphincters at the top of the stomach. If this happens, it can lead to heartburn.

There are a few things we have found that help to prevent this from happening.

1) Take the peppermint capsules on an empty stomach an hour before the meal to allow them time to reach the intestines and dissolve before the food arrives. Taking them too close to meal time can be problematic for people with reflux. HOWEVER! There are some people (I'm actually one of them) who have problems with the caps when they wait the full hour before they eat. If you previously took the cap on an empty stomach, and waited an hour before eating, and still had problems, you might be one of those people. In that case, try taking a cap on an empty stomach just 5-10 minutes before eating, and see if that works better for you.

2) The peppermint caps should not be taken during or after a meal because the food will block them from reaching the intestines and this could cause them to dissolve in the stomach.

3) Drinking only enough liquid to swallow the capsules seems to help them pass through without dissolving in the stomach. The enteric coating makes them resistant to stomach acid, but they are still water soluble. Limiting the amount of liquid they’ll be floating around in will help them reach their destination.

4) You shouldn’t take them at the same time as any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) designed to lower the stomach acid. Lowering the stomach acid makes the enteric coating less likely to work (remember it is resistant to high acid). For folks who need to take these medications, what we came up with is taking the peppermint caps about an hour before you take the acid lowering/blocking medication. This will give them a better chance of making it down to the intestines where they will dissolve and start to take effect without affecting the upper GI.

On a related note, not being able to tolerate the enteric coated peppermint oil capsules because they are dissolving in the stomach and causing heartburn or peppermint burping might indicate low stomach acid. In naturopathic medicine, heartburn is often thought to be caused by low stomach acid which causes the undigested food to sit in the stomach too long and create pressure. It can also contribute to inadequately digested protein in the stomach. This can disrupt the digestive process downstream as well. If you followed the tips I listed above and still experienced heartburn, you might want to follow up with a provider to test your stomach acid levels. A naturopath or nutritionist would probably be the best type of provider to address this for you.

The other thing that can cause some people to have to difficulty using the peppermint oil capsules is a sensitivity to the natural compounds in peppermint such as salicylates. The peppermint oil is very concentrated and contains a higher amount of these natural compounds than you would consume in a cup of tea. People who have a sensitivity seem to experience burning in the intestines when they take the peppermint caps. It may come as a surprise because until the peppermint capsules, they’ve probably never noticed a sensitivity like this because they’ve honestly never consumed the compounds in this amount before.

Of course if you are unable to take the peppermint oil capsules, please feel free to return them even if you have used part of the bottle. Just mail them to the address below my name with enough information so I can find you in our database. We will process a credit to your card and send you a confirmation email once the transaction has been completed.

Love this stuff!!!
I ordered this product because I was experiencing constipation due to newly prescribed medication. I did not want to start the merry go round of stool softeners and laxatives. So I searched for a natural answer. I ran across this product and it does work wonderfully. I had some concern that it may cause gas. I am a natural gas bag already so I started off with a small dose and worked my way up. I never had any trouble with gas. I can now take my medicine everyday and not worry about how it effects my bowels. My plumbing is in tip top shape. Thanks Tammy!!

Hi!

Thank you so much for your feedback. Yes, there is no cure for IBS. However, using the Tummy Fiber daily will definitely keep your symptoms in check.

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Phil - I am so sorry to hear this. The acacia is a single ingredient, certified organic product that we package in-house in a closed clean room and on a dedicated acacia powder filling line. There should never be any contamination whatsoever. If you find anything like this please call or email us directly right away and we will investigate.

Because the acacia is a 100% pure and organic soluble fiber, it will absorb moisture from its surroundings, including the air itself if it is humid. That can sometimes cause the product to clump a bit, as it would something like flour or cornstarch. This is even more likely to happen if you use a spoon that's a bit wet to dip right into the acacia for your dose. Over time, that bit of moisture can cause clumps that will look like white or pale yellow bits. You should see these bits dissolve back into any liquid that you add them to.

Because the acacia is natural and not synthetic, and very minimally processed, the color can vary a bit and sometimes the granularity varies as well.

Please do let us know if you ever see anything that doesn't fall into this type of issue, and we will take that extremely seriously.

Best,
Heather

Hi, Kandie!

I'm so sorry to hear you're still experiencing problems. With the Tummy Fiber, it's important to begin with a small dose twice daily (about 1/2 teaspoon per dose) and gradually increase your daily doses until your symptoms are resolved. Typically, people will find their resolving dose between 1 and 5 tablespoons total daily. For people with diarrhea, the resolving dose is usually between 1 and 3 tablespoons. For people with constipation, the resolving dose is usually between 3 and 5 tablespoons. I'd keep gradually increasing your dose and see if that helps. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

My first order
By the time I was on the tenth page of "First Year with IBS" I was ready to cry. Finally, someone who could relate to the blinding pain I'm experiencing on a daily basis. I have been given more information on my "syndrome" from these two books than I ever got from my GP or Gastroenterologist who just said "eat more fibre". I'm so grateful for this site. I've been combining the tummy fibre, the new knowledge I now have and a product call IBS-Plex (peppermint, marshmallow root & L Glutamine) and for the first time in 2 years I haven't had an attack in 2 whole weeks. Granted I've had an attack every day for the last 4 days but I'm attributing that to the stress of my father having a heart attack last week. Otherwise, I'm thrilled to know I'm not the only suffering from this, but given how prevalent it is, I'm shocked at the lack of attention from doctors and scientists. Thank you Heather, you've given me hope at a time when I was ready to put a bullet in my head to stop the pain.

Product*	Amanda from Kunkletown, PA Purchased on 3/16/2012 Reviewed on 4/6/2012
I feel normal again
I started with 1/2 teaspoon twice a day dose (once in the morning and then after dinner) and within the first week I was starting to become regular and noticing a lot less gas. I tried to up the dose gradually but I think it may have been too much because I had diarrhea, unless that was something unrelated. I stayed at the 1/2 teaspoon dose and it keeps me regular but would like to increase it to help a little more with the constipation. I missed a dose or two during the past week and I had horrible trapped gas pains...needless to say I will not miss a dose again! I have had gastric bypass surgery and this stuff really helps me with controlling gas, because its a big problem afterwards. My "bad" IBS days went from 2-3 a week to not even once a week, more like 1 bad day out of 3 weeks. This product is awesome!

Product*	Jennifer from Houston, TX Purchased on 3/15/2012 Reviewed on 4/5/2012
Recommended to anyone with IBS
I was a little skeptical about these products in the beginning, just because I had never heard about them before. But being that no other product had helped so far, I decided to try it. I am very happy I did. The fiber and the peppermint capsules work wonders. First, it has helped eliminate the annoying pain in my gut that I used to get almost every time I had a meal. It used to be so painful that I couldn't walk straight sometimes. Second, going to the bathroom has become very easy. Third, after using this kit, I rarely see my stomach bloated. I was always bloated before. Finally, I really liked the pamphlet that comes with the kit. The pamphlet has a list of trigger foods, foods with insoluble fiber (which should be consumed but never on an empty stomach), and foods with soluble fiber. This quick reference has also helped me manage my IBS symptoms. Thank you so much for these products!

I can't seem to get this capsule not to break up in my stomach

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi, Jeannie!

There are a few things we have found that help to prevent this from happening.

1)Take the peppermint capsules on an empty stomach an hour before the meal to allow them time to reach the intestines and dissolve before the food arrives. Taking them too close to meal time can be problematic for people with reflux. HOWEVER! There are some people (I'm actually one of them) who have problems with the caps when they wait the full hour before they eat. If you previously took the cap on an empty stomach, and waited an hour before eating, and still had problems, you might be one of those people. In that case, try taking a cap on an empty stomach just 5-10 minutes before eating, and see if that works better for you.

2)The peppermint caps should not be taken during or after a meal because the food will block them from reaching the intestines and this could cause them to dissolve in the stomach.

3)Drinking only enough liquid to swallow the capsules seems to help them pass through without dissolving in the stomach. The enteric coating makes them resistant to stomach acid, but they are still water soluble. Limiting the amount of liquid they’ll be floating around in will help them reach their destination.

4)You shouldn’t take them at the same time as any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) designed to lower the stomach acid. Lowering the stomach acid makes the enteric coating less likely to work (remember it is resistant to high acid). For folks who need to take these medications, what we came up with is taking the peppermint caps about an hour before you take the acid lowering/blocking medication. This will give them a better chance of making it down to the intestines where they will dissolve and start to take effect without affecting the upper GI.

Of course if you are unable to take the peppermint oil capsules, please feel free to return them even if you have used part of the bottle. Just mail them to the address below with enough information so I can find you in our database. We will process a credit to your card and send you a confirmation email once the transaction has been completed.

Hi, Lisa!

I'm so sorry to hear this. People tend to either love or hate the taste of fennel. It really does work well for gas and bloating though so many people just get creative about how to take it. You can brew it with another herbal tea such as peppermint or chamomile to disguise the flavor (peppermint in particular completely kills the fennel taste).

Using honey as a sweetener really makes it taste better as well. And some folks simply brew it very strong, let it cool, and drink it quickly as they would a medicine.

If you still just hate it so much you can't even drink it, please feel feel to return it for a full refund.

IBS Diet Kit #1 Eating for IBS, Fennel TEABAGS, Peppermint Caps

Product*	Leslie from Kirkwood, MO Purchased on 3/6/2012 Reviewed on 3/27/2012
Greatful
I am loving these products. My favorite is the Fennel tea and the cook book. I have found some great recipes and great information in the cook book. With some of my new found knowledge I have been able to change some family favorites into better meals for me with just a few adjustments. I am not sure about the peppermint tablets just yet. Will keep trying them and am hoping they start to take effect. The Fennel tea however is a blessing and I started feeling better after just two uses. LOVE IT!! Thank you so much for all of this!

Heather says:

Hello Monique,

I am so sorry the Tummy Tea Peppermint Teabags did not work for you. Peppermint is meant to quickly relieve IBS abdominal pain, cramping and urgency. When you first start the tea, you may need to drink several cups a day to really calm down your gut. Make sure you steep the tea for 5-10 minutes for the full medicinal strength.

We have a full, money-back guarantee, so please feel free to send back any product that is not satisfactory.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

My apologies,

Love this book and the capsules work wonders

We eat almost exclusively from this recipe book now, and my IBS has calmed down DRAMATICALLY. I recently climbed Kilimanjaro and my tea and peppermint capsules not only saved me on the mountain, but ended up saving several of my team members who began having either constipation or diarrhea, I became the tummy guru on Kili! I recommend your site to everyone now, IBS or not, because the products are great for sensitive traveler tummies as well. Thanks for being there for us Heather!!!

Fennel Tummy TEABAGS CAN

Product*	Karie from Vercheres, QC Purchased on 2/13/2012 Reviewed on 3/26/2012
Love this tea, drink it every day, all day long
I mix it with other teas to get some variety, just make sure it is decaf tea. I also add a peppermint capsule to my teapot and make a large pot of fennel-peppermint tea, as I find the peppermint easier to digest this way, its very strong but you get used to it and there is no burping up of peppermint all day! Overall I have found these products life changing, my pain is substantially reduced, I feel supported and educated and I am not lost in wondering what to eat or not. The only product I haven't used much is the tummy fiber, I need to incorporate it more in my daily routine. Thanks again Heather!

So Far I love this product!
I have been taking the Acacia Powder 2x per day for about 2 weeks now. I have been taking Cholestyramine to control my symptoms. However, it did cause other problems for me. So far, this product has been working great! I haven't had to take any other medication since I have been on this. I am still reading the book, but so far it's also very informative and helpful. I plan on buying more powder and continuing with this product.

Helpful!
These tea bags don't smell the best but they actually aren't bad with a little sugar. I mostly use them when I start feeling stomach cramps, and they seem to help calm my stomach quickly. They have prevented IBS attacks for me at work, which is a lifesaver. I would recommend them.
