Well, for me, I've been doing about 16 oz (or more) of water with about a 1T of acacia. I honestly do fine this way, but you might want to start out less and build up.

I think I will start with 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon (8 grams) per day since that is just .50 grams more then what I'm taking now....then increase from there....

Shell,
I put the acacia in first and then add the tea. I find this makes it easier to mix. When I was working I put these in a little Rubbermaid condtainer with a flip top that I could drink out of. Acacia never thickens so no worries with that. YOu just have to shake it really good to mix.
I think you will find that it is easy. I don't like to drink it in plain water because it has a taste that I don't like. It really is almost taste free but there is something that bothers me about the non-taste in water. If that makes sense.

I mix mine in a travel mug of tea in the morning (I put the acacia in first and then a few tablespoons of cold water just to get it mixed a little then add the hot water and tea bag). I also mix up a thermos of hot tea with acacia which I drink after lunch and then I have one last dose in hot tea before bed.
It's so easy! I'm up to 2 1/2 teaspoons three times a day and I think I'll stay there for a while.
Good luck!

Shell, you're going to LOVE it! (I didn't realize you hadn't been on it all along.) 
I can't imagine (IBS) life without it now.

Hi Auntie Kandee.... nice to see ya on the boards...!!
Nope... I've not tried it yet cuz I REALLY like the pill form..it is just such a no brainer for me. I JUST read the Acacia container and realized I only have to take this TWO times a day instead of 3..Woohhooo!!! So, now I don't have to worry about having it at home, car, & office!! I can do it at home or office in my oatmeal and then at home with dinner!!! I'm so excited. Now, off to figure out the math and make sure I start out with approx the same dose per day as I'm taking now...
