The acacia didn't work for me. Actually it made my C worse. I know take a fiber supplement from enzymatic therapy which is in capules and works much better.

Is it safe or a "laxative"? I am not having luck with Citrucel. Very gassy and cramps and not very good BMs either.

What Cindy suggested is a good idea, but the trick with Acacia is to break up the lumps, so stir with a fork or whisk not a spoon and just give it time! It'll dissolve on it's own after about 10 minutes anyway.
But how I usually have it in the morning is either sprinkled over cereal before I pour the soy milk in (it just makes the milk a bit creamier!  ) or mixed with my oatmeal before I cook it. Either way it's not an issue. At night I usually just put it in a mug of soy milk and mix it up.
But if you want to add it to something like pasta sauce, mixing it with a little bit of cold water first is a very good idea. Just think how you'd treat cornmeal -it has the same kind of consistency I find.

I've forgotten my Americanisms!  We call it cornflour and it's used for thickening sauces, etc.

I am always interested to see how long you used acacia before you realized this. It takes a long time to work up to the amount you are supposed to be and I feel I can not quit now - how much dosage were you up to before quitting?

It sounds like you are at full dosage - but if you take 1 tablesp each with 2 bottles of water do you take another tablesp at breakfast or dinner - or are you stable enough with 2 tablesp??
I am trying to find out all I can about acacia - and thinking very positive that I will eventually somewhat stabilize

It sounds like you became stable with 2 table per day. I am only hoping something comes out of all of this!!!

2 Tbs. a day is enough for me. I don't always drink it in my water. I've been doing that lately though because my schedule (and eating habits) have been kind of erratic.
