As far as each dose, I don't think it matters. You're definitely supposed to spread out your daily totals into a few doses. How much are taking? Is it helping? I think mine is, but the initial suggeted dose was way too much for me (1/2 tsp. twice a day), so I've been slowly adding. After 3 weeks I'm 1/4 tsp. 3 times a day.

I think it does matter. My GI doc years ago said the easier way to digest SFS is with a meal and I would not gulp it down. I have mine in the AM in hot cereal and in the PM in fennel tea before, during or after dinner. It might be only minor but any little thing helps.

i do spread out my doses, at the moment im taking 1tbsp in the morning, 1tsp at dinner and 1tbsp before bed, it is helping although i am guilty of cheating so have had some bad days!It's took me a while to get to this dose, i also had to start low,was on 1/4 tsp 2 times a day! mine always seems to get a "beer head" on the top, think i need to stir it more!
