| Dear Heather,
I ordered a can of your Acacia Fiber and I wanted to write you about my experience. I'm 28 years old, and while I do not have IBS, but I do have a sensitive GI tract, and sometimes eating an early breakfast can trigger a gastrointestinal spasm that can last too long for my comfort. I was taking Kaopectate and sometimes Imodium more often than I should have, because I couldn't not eat breakfast! The only foods I could eat that would not cause loose bowels were oatmeal (or organic oatmeal cookies), bananas, apples, and toast. However, it wasn't like this was daily or even regular. So it wasn't like I could predict it. Sometimes no matter what I ate, I'd be just fine! However, those unpredictable times when my colon would spasm were very frustrating -- especially because I'm emetophobic. Not only do I have a fear of vomiting, I also have an irrational fear of getting diarrhea, and that lead me to take anti-diarrheal medications when I did not necessarily need to.
Finally, a few weeks ago, I decided to research fiber supplements. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few months ago, and I learned that the condition can cause GI problems, even leading to IBS. I came across your Acacia Fiber and thought it would be perfect -- I don't get enough fiber in my diet anyway; and while I take acidophilous pills daily, I realized those pills wouldn't be enough.
Well, the canister came to my office, and I immediately took my measuring spoons, scooped out a generous half-teaspoon, and added it to my water bottle, which I then stirred and shook. I drank half the bottle in one sitting, then drank the rest over the course of the morning.
Within a few days, I noticed that my stomach was behaving extremely well. I tested out a bunch of foods that I knew might cause tummy upset, and I was fine! Plus, the fiber had me feeling full quickly, so I didn't need to eat as much. I stopped feeling bloated and tired after lunchtime, too. I keep the canister at my desk at work, since I'm more likely to use it there.
I'm going to keep taking the Acacia Fiber, probably for the rest of my life. It's been about three weeks, and I'm still taking just the half-teaspoon dose, but I'd like to go up to a full teaspoon starting tomorrow. I'm also going to recommend it to everyone I know with stomach issues, not just IBS. You have an amazing product, and I am so glad that it's natural and gentle. I've never seen any fiber supplement like this before.
Keep up the good work, and thank you so much.
Love,
Joanna P. from Gaithersburg, MD
