Hi - how long did you take to work up to that dose? If you jumped too quickly you might want to drop way down (to 2 T per day), stay there for 3-5 days, then start to gradually increase by adding an extra 1/2 teaspoon to one of your two daily doses, every 3-4 days.

5 Tablespoons is the max daily dose - typically only needed by people with severe, chronic constipation. It's okay if that is what you need, but it alarms me that you jumped up from 1 T Konsyl to 5 T Acacia and have constipation. Something is not right - I'm trying to pinpoint what, exactly.

XOXO
