I use Acacia Senegal for mild IBS and constipation. It has worked very effectively in relieving stomach/bowel discomfort and alleviating constipation. Started with a very small dose of 1/2 tsp per day 1X per day, then 1/2 tsp per day 2X per day but take 1 tsp now 2X per day now. This can cause cramping if too much is taken so start out very slowly. It has been a big help.I use Heather's tummy t...

This additive to my medications caused a rash, allergic asthma, diarrhea, abdominal distress, and other. I also found this in fizzy drinks, ice cream and other foods. When I researched this additive and stopped all medications and food that used this additive, I immediately lost 20 pounds; quit bloating, asthma cleared, diarrhea stopped. I suffered for many years before I stumbled on this addit...

I can't find many more benefits states in any english websites. But I'm Muslim and this is one of the Sunnah Prophet's food. It have many benefits from stomach to intestine. I have white vaginal discharged problems and not always can poops.i mean i poop only once in 2-3 days. But after I consume Arabic Gum, i can go poop once in one day which is good to me so i will not feel bloated of foods like before. I also have constipation and after i take arabic gum, its easier for me to poop. The best thing is that i feel satisfied after go to toilet (like all feces in my intestine are gone) . I KNOW MAYBE ITS DISGUSTING BUT I JUST WANNA SHARE EXPERIENCE SO CAN HELP PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM. I take it 2x tablespoon mix with mineral water everytime after wake up and before going to sleep. The products info that I read on my language website says it better to be consume with empty stomach. So i will not consume arabic gum with foods/sweet drinks or as seasoning because i dont think thats the right way to consume ,because of that people report they will have stomach crams/inflammation etc. To me i dont have and bad side effects from taking Arabic Gum. Even when i have indigestion i will take arabic gum and it will help by forcing down the food and make me go to toilet again. Hope it will always better in the future. Oh and I use Arabic Gum that come from Yemen (Arabic Land). If you want to to search it, the brand is Viscera Arabic Gum.Read More Read Less

I started using this to lower my blood sugar due to pre-diabetes diagnosis, and to help my IBS/chrones disease. At first it helped cut down on my BMs a bit (I took 1 Tbs 2x a day in water) but after 7 months of so I started getting horrible stomache cramps that kept me up and made we want to die. They were especially aggravated by spicey food. Once I gave it up the horrible stomache cramps quickly died down to just moderate ones when I eat too much gassy food or chili peppers. I also have a FODMAP avoidance issue. Read More Read Less

Suffer from mild ibs. Twice a day half of a tablespoon each time. I am on my 2 Nd container and feel like it helps so I don’t feel sick soon after eating a heavy meal.

Was hopeful that this would be a fiber that I could tolerate. Have had IBS since childhood and know that I need to use fiber, but even taking acacia in food ( ice cream) it caused diarrhea, stomach upset and gas. I also have allergies so this is probably not the best thing to take since it is from Mimosa trees.

I used for severe IBS treatment, high cholesterol and weight loss! It worked magic. The disturbing symptoms of IBS were immensely eased to the extent that I now don't complain anymore! As for ease of use, it was as easy as you breathe! Overall, I've been totally satisfied with this wonderful natural experience. I did recommend it to family members and friends and they were amazed by the health benefits they obtained from this experience. My sister was overweight, after using this gum arabic (in powder form dissolved i a glass of water) she is now in shape and very happy and pleased with herself.Read More Read Less

I take this because of mild IBS symptoms. I have found I use 1/4 tsp every morning sprinkled on whatever I am eating for breakfast. I am now regular with one bowel movement a day. If I take over 1/4 tsp I have lose bowels....So for me it is 1/4 tsp and all is well.

I take Acacia Senegal & it is the only thing that has improved my IBS. I have not had IBS for months until I took a new prescription & it caused me to have IBS again. The Acacia has cured it so I am normal again.

I'm using acacia senegal for the treatment of IBS and have only been on it for a week and a half and, so far it has helped ease the bowel/digestion problems associated with this debilitating disease.

I have tried many types of fiber to ease constipation. This has been the best. It does not change the texture nor taste of food.

Apparently, I had an idiosyncratic reaction to this medication to which I had just changed from a more commercial brand clear fiber. I switched to avoid all the additives in the other product. I am a registered nurse and well aware of medications and dosages. Instead of bulking and promoting regularity, in me, this product produced frequent and unremitting diarrhea. I had to go to a diet of clear fluids and build back up to solid foods. I then "tested" myself by taking less than 1/3rd of the serving and my reaction was the same. I am posting this because I have not seen any other reports of adverse reactions and should someone else have this kind of problem, they need to tell their physician and report the issue to the product manufacturer in the interest of public health. There is nothing in the professional literature at this time to correlate with my reaction, but it is better to err on the side of caution and post this experience than to assume the reaction was unique to me. The product I tried was Organic Clear Fiber by Renew Life sold at Whole Foods. I have reported my experience to the manufacturer already. I do not "blame" them, but am concerned that someone else may have a similar reaction. Read More Read Less
