(More customer reviews)This product is good for IBS symptoms, and works better than the other fiber supplements, which ironically can aggravate symptoms. Just follow the instructions, whether starting from scratch or transitioning from another supplement, and you should be fine. I would recommend if you are just starting to use this product to purchase only the refillable canister size first, and then if it works for you, get multiple pouches at a time from Amazon (for free shipping savings vs purchasing from Heather's site). It seems pricey, but frankly, it's worth it to me!
It does sometimes clump, but it is truly flavorless, not gritty, and doesn't thicken liquid, so its not bad at all -- just don't look at the floaters/clumps if they occur in your drink. It seems to help if I have a thinner, even layer of it in the glass (vs a large *lump*), then add an ounce or two of liquid, swish it around until its all moistened, and then add the rest of the liquid. I break each dose up into two smaller drinks (i.e., drink 4-5 oz with a small amount of the fiber, then repeat immediately afterwords) to avoid clumping. Sometimes, you just have to stir, stir, stir briskly for a full minute. It won't work in my peppermint/fennel tea (hot liquid makes it clump to the point I can't break it up), but other than that, it works well.
You can also bake with it and sprinkle it on warm, moist foods to keep your system full of soluble fiber throughout the day. I keep a 4 oz container of it at work to use during lunch to boost my soluble fiber intake. Since its in a clear container, no one knows what it is and I can keep it in sight so I don't forget.
I also drink a glass of water with it first thing in the morning or when I haven't eaten for several hours--it seems to help, along with following Heather's tips on diet (check out her books) and her peppermint/fennel teas. The peppermint caps and hypnosis CDs never helped me (nor IBS Advantage), but this product seems to make a difference.
Everything I've read on Acacia Senegal indicates a lack of side effects from prolonged use, but I would still mention its use to any health professionals.
