@kilh I haven't tried it but they do say in the directions that it's best mixed with room temperature liquids. It's like most fibers and doesn't really have a taste. I usually put 1 or 2 teaspoons in an empty cup and gradually add water while stirring with a fork. It does bubble a little but mixes in with water. I have a lot of gas also but no abdominal pain or cramping. It just makes the BMs noisy 🙃and like baby cannons if you know what I mean. They also sell some Tummy Fiber tea which I like and is for gas and bloating so maybe I will try mixing a couple of teaspoons of the fiber with the tea tonight and let you know.

@kilh I made myself a cup of their Fennel Tea and put 1 tsp of the tummy fiber in and stirred a few seconds (first picture) and did get it pretty much mixed in by stirring another 3 to 4 minutes with a fork. It does turn into a glob when you drop in a teaspoon and they recommend adding it a little at a time like you are sprinkling but I'm an old man with the shakes that you would think that would help with sprinkling but it doesn't 🙂
