Hi - what's more important is that you're taking a dose at least twice daily, and that you start at a low dose but gradually increase until symptoms resolve.

You don't have to take fiber with food. Having it right before a meal (or mixed right into moist foods) can help buffer your gut's response to food, and keep things stable. But you could also take on an empty stomach between meals, right before bed, etc.

If you're going too long without eating, take your fiber so you keep soluble fiber in your gut.
