Pages: 1 C'ers-How do you take your SFS?       #210360 - 09/01/05 07:59 AM Edit Reply Quote kristaIBS Reged: 08/09/05 Posts: 38 I am currently taking benefiber like this: 1/2 tbsp with lunch, 1/2 tbsp with dinner, and 1 tbsp at night with tea. my question is, do c'ers find it better to take it in divided doses, or in large amounts? what makes your BM more frequent and/or better? i konw heather says to take it in divided doses, but i wanted to hear your opinion Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: C'ers-How do you take your SFS?       #210386 - 09/01/05 09:43 AM Edit Reply Quote AstroChick Reged: 12/30/03 Posts: 1023 Loc: Chicago, IL, USA I take my acacia twice a day: 1 heaping tablespoon first thing in the morning (pre-breakfast), 1 heaping tablespoon with dinner. Of course, all my meals have soluble fiber in them as well. I don't know if changing the timing would help my C particularly. My C is much more affected by getting regular exercise and IF - the SF is mainly there to stop the rumbles and cramps and nausea and eventual D that would come from eating IF alone. --AC Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: C'ers-How do you take your SFS?       #210388 - 09/01/05 10:10 AM Edit Reply Quote Draupadi Reged: 07/16/05 Posts: 218 Loc: Santa Cruz, California I'm with you, astrochick. I take mine twice a day, in the morning and evening, which seems to work for me. The reason I do this is primarily because of my schedule during the day...it is sort of inconvenient for me to take my SFS at work, especially because I take the powder form. I would advise you to experiment, though, to see what works best with your body and your lifestyle. -------------------- Julia Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     2 1/2 t of Acacia before each meal is my routine. I'm pretty stable right now too! -nt-       #210390 - 09/01/05 10:16 AM Edit Reply Quote bamagirl Reged: 04/02/04 Posts: 1407 Loc: Alabama -------------------- God is Faithful!
