1. Heather's Tummy Fiber CAN Organic Acacia Senegal (16 oz) for IBS

I have IBS-C and rarely D. This worked for me the next day ( soon .... after every time I ate) but I use it with a probiotic and enzymes. I also drink 4 - 8 ozs of Kombucha most days. Just 1/2 tsp feeds the probiotics. I also have a hiatal hernia so the enzymes and fermented tea help me so much with acid reflux. Life changing. I lost 5 lbs my first week! I got this advice from the book: "The Skinny Gut Diet". It's a must read if you have any gut issues or brain fog.
5.0 - Great product, effective for IBS-C
First of all, once you read some of the reviews here, I want to point out that the user really needs to read the product label on this item. It does dissolve very well in water or juice, but you have to put the fiber in a dry cup, and then add the liquid. If you don't, then no the product does not dissolve well. It does dissolve, but will take extra time and stirring. Follow the directions.
5.0 - Most helpful thing ever!
I've been a long time sufferer of IBS-C. I've tried numerous "therapies", including a low fod map diet, as well as medications, and this is the first thing that has been truly helpful. Ive also been hospitalized twice for this condition. I've followed Heather's recommendations to drink more than 8 glasses of water a day (I drink 12), and GRADUALLY increased the amount of tummy fiber to see what works best for me. I take 1 teaspoon twice a day in room temperature water. That, combined with 12 glasses of water, is what works for me. I fill a pitcher of 12 glasses of water in the morning and make sure I drink it. I just can't understand why you can't get this advice from a doctor...very frustrating, but I'm so glad that I've found this because it's made a huge difference in my life. I am able to "go" every morning and feel completely comfortable...no bloating or gas. It's just so much better than taking a laxative or medications. I could not recommend it more!
4.0 - It works, but slowly
I've searching for products which will help with the IBS-D rather have to take the medication the doctor prescribed. The medication only soothed the symptoms but do not really relieve it. With Heather's Tummy Fiber it slowly helped with the symptoms but still not completely control or stable. That's why I give it a 4 stars. It is tasteless and easy to consume either by liquid or add to moist food. Hopefully, when time goes by, my symptoms will be controlled. For anyone who has IBS-C or IBS-D condition, definitely has to try this product.
5.0 - Can't live without it
I originally bought this product when my daughter was struggling with IBS-C as a teenager, after reading about it on the "Help for IBS" website. Not only was it a godsend for her, but also for others in my family who suffer from digestive problems. My elderly, sedentary mother has experienced tremendous relief from a problem with slow motility, and my cousin has achieved complete remission from diverticulosis, narrowly avoiding the surgery recommended by his doctor (he thanks me every time he sees me). I have no idea why the medical profession hasn't figured this out yet - they recommend "fiber" for constipation, but don't understand that *soluble* fiber is the key to bowel regulation in both constipation and diarrhea. We refer to it as our "magic powder," which I know sounds silly but the relief this has given my family is deadly serious. Note: the powder takes a bit of time to dissolve in hot liquids. My mom uses a tiny cappuccino "stick mixer" to blend it into her coffee - I find it easier just to sprinkle it onto soup, salads, etc., making sure to drink plenty of liquids in addition.
5.0 - If you have IBS you really should try this.
This all but cured my IBS-C, I was never getting enough fiber daily. For me the perfect amount was 3 teaspoons twice a day, mixed in room temperature water, I mix it in a 16.9 oz water bottle 3/4's full and shake it well. I try and make a couple bottle at a time because shaking it creates lots of foam, if the bottles sit over night most of the foam is gone by morning. It does have a slight taste to it, to me almost like a very very weak coffee.
5.0 - Easy Friendly Fiber
I've been using this for many months now. It really is a very gentle fiber, and it has never seemed to upset my stomach. It always melts into the food with no problem. I mostly use it in hot food. I have to use it pretty regularly to notice any difference in my constipation though, I have IBS-C. But I try to get enough fiber in my diet and this helps when I remember to use it. I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a fiber that doesn't cause digestive pain and is very easy to use. Who doesn't need more fiber?
5.0 - Ahhh relief
I have horrible IBS-C. This stuff got me off of (and works better than) daily sauerkraut juice and apple cider vinegar enemas ( yeah, I was that desperate). Thank goodness for this product. It took about a week before the 1/2 teaspoon 3 times daily started to have an effect, so be patient. I just put it in a plastic water bottle and shake vigorously until it dissolves. It doesn't thicken the water, or make it gritty, and you can't taste it. I find that this works better for me than the NOW foods version, but maybe it's psychological. I use this in combination with a Goodbelly probiotic shot. Did I mention I can tolerate cheese again? Can't praise this product enough.
5.0 - IBS-C helped by this
Wow, product does exactly what it promises to do! I couldn't be happier. Being gluten soy and dairy sensitive, getting enough fiber has been hard for me and caused a lot of issues. I have been searching for 5 years for the fiber that is right for me. I can't tell you how happy I am with this product! Delivered fast, price is just right, I've taken it every day since it arrived a week ago I can't tell you how much better I am feeling. This has really helped correct a wrong in my body that I've been battling .
5.0 - Ibs-c
Best stuff in the world.
5.0 - Painless and Amazingly Effective
It's great because it's painless, no side effects at all! other than the wanted effect of healthy stools. I have IBS-C with flair ups, and this last one from hospital IV antibiotics (post knee replacement) was the worst ever- severe cramping and not being able to eat food. I also have fibromyalgia so maybe because of that sensitivity which i've noticed I only need low dosage of anything to work, is why I began with 1/2 tsp 2x/day, then when it helped my bowels in 1 day swinging from C to D, I backed off to 1/2tsp once a day. Much below the normal dosage. Just thought this might help anyone else who typically can't tolerate normal dosages of meds or supplements, but if you use much less it works.

2. NOW Magnesium Citrate 400 Milligram 120 Veg Capsules, 2 Pack

View this supplement on Amazon.com →

5.0 - NOW!!
I have been using this product for a few years now, but I normally use the soft gels. I ordered the capsules by accident, but I haven't had any issues with them. They are easy to swallow and they work well to help with my digestive issues such as IBS-C. I think these might be slightly smaller than the soft gels (I Think), so I may continue to buy this form instead. Either way, I love the NOW brand and this product in particular.
5.0 - So helpful
I have IBS-C and take 2 of these every day (4 hours apart). These combined with taking Metamucil every day really help keep things moving! This is not advice or a dosing or indication for use suggestion though.
5.0 - Good mornings everyday!
I have IBS-C so I take 2 every evening at 7:00 pm, So that I can have regular bowel movements in am.
5.0 - Mag Citrate
This works great for IBS-C. I've also found that when I avoid sweets, I don't have near the issues, and 2 tabs instead of 4 a day will do.
5.0 - I found my answer to IBS-C!
I have suffered from chronic constipation for about 15 years now-I am 46. I did a lot of research and tried different things (yogurt, probiotics, more mater, fiber supplements) and was bound and determined to figure it out for myself. I am not a run to the doctor type of person.
5.0 - Great for constipation and IBS-C
I’ve had consistent digestive problems for years. I have be diagnosed with IBS-C. This helps me have normal digestion. Great quality and price!

3. Douglas Laboratories® - Cape Aloe - Cape Aloe Latex Supports Bowel Regularity* - 100 Capsules

View this supplement on Amazon.com →

5.0 - If you have IBS-C, this provides relief!
This stuff is such a necessity to my life, that without it I'm a constantly-constipated-gripy person. Nothing else works for me. It feels terrible to be constipated all the time and this product is well above the multiple other products I have tried.
5.0 - This stuff is great - take 1 at night to help with bowel ...
This stuff is great - take 1 at night to help with bowel motility the next morning. I deal with IBS-C (constipation) and this really helps keep me getting at least 1 bowel movement a day (in the morning). If I forget to take it, I usually don't poop.

4. MegaFood - Blood Builder, Support for Healthy Iron Levels, Energy, and Red Blood Cell Production without Nausea or Constipation, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, 30 Tablets.

View this supplement on Amazon.com →

5.0 - Best iron pills ever
I have IBS-C and an ulcer (diagnosed via endoscopy), I am bothered by a lot of things, and super sensitive to pills and such, everything upsets my stomach etc. I took these while pregnant with both kids, and while I had hypermesis (threw up for 36 weeks!) this didn't make me feel any worse, while other iron (even Floravital) did. I had the whole feeling like I was walking in cement boots and couldn't take a few steps without sitting down, these raised my levels (proof was in the testing) quickly and well enough that the doctor asked what I was taking because her experience was other products didn't work as fast.

5.0 - Good product that improved digestive problems
This probiotic has a higher potency than the ones that I tried previously, and it is the only one that has significantly improved my IBS-c symptoms. I would buy this again, and I'm very happy with my purchase.
5.0 - Wonderful Probiotic for Anyone Seeking Good GI health
I love Probiotics 40 Billion CFU. My GI doctor diagnosed me with IBS-C 3 years ago; it was recommended that I start taking a probiotic for IBS-C relief. I have shopped around, tried many other brands of probiotics but none have worked so well as BioSchwarts' probiotics have. I started taking them a couple of months ago at 2 capsules per day. It took a little time..maybe 2 weeks...to feel a change for the better: signifigantly less bloating, gas and GI abdominal pain. BioSchwarts' probiotics really made that difference in my GI health.

5.0 - Great aid for IBS-C

I have IBS-C and use this at times when I need extra help. It is effective, economical, and does not cause discomfort. My GI doc is fine with me using this.

7. ORGANIC INDIA Triphala, Digestive Support (90 Cap)

View this supplement on Amazon.com →

5.0 - I'm amazed!
I have struggled with IBS-C for years. I've tried everything from Milk of Magnesia and Mira Lax everyday to any fiber product you can name. I got tired of doing this because I know it's not healthy. I once again researched online to see if something new may be out there. I read about Dr. Weil's comments and then read other reviews. I ordered the Organic India brand and saw a difference immediately. I don't have the other issues I was before and I usually have a bowel movement each morning. Exercise and regular activity help, as well as water and other fruits like apples, pears, peaches, plums, prunes. I will be ordering this again. It also helps my husband. I take i2 each evening, and one each morning. I am concerned about the long term use or any other possible issues, but for now my life is normal again.

9. Organic Turmeric Curcumin Extract Supplement 95% Standardized with BioPerine - Natural Anti-Inflammatory Powder Pills to Relieve Pain & Provide Supreme Health Benefits (1000mg) 60 capsules

View this supplement on Amazon.com →

5.0 - The benefits are amazing!
I swear by Turmeric Curcumin. It helps so much with stomach pain and bloating. I have IBS-C and have been through the wringer over the years with colonoscopies, endoscopies, and a variety of prescription medications, most of which offer little relief. About a year ago, I started looking into a more homeopathic approach, because I had tried everything else. I really like this brand so far. It's easy to swallow and has no bad taste. Some do taste better than others. It greatly helps with joint pain, inflammation, and heartburn as well. I definitely recommend looking up the medical benefits and trying this brand.

5.0 - Helps with Chronic Constipation
