Reading your post and the others gave me the push I needed to order also. I have been using Benefiber pills, then started adding Fiber-sure at different times. After reading one post, realized that Fiber-Sure causes bloating, which I had been feeling since adding the Fiber-Sure. But thank goodness for the fennel tea! It's a lifesaver! I'm anxious to get my Acacia so I can get started on it.
I also didn't realize it is a probiotic also. I have just started taking Probiotic Defense - can I quit that once I get going on the Acacia?
Thanks for all the help!

The Acacia is a PREbiotic, and helps the effectiveness of a PRObiotic. Keep taking the Primal Defense, and the acacia might help make the most out of it.
I've always been a supporter of the Acacia fiber, hope you like it too!

I was wondering how it would turn out if I sprinkled it on my turkey pattie before I put the slice of soy cheese on it..if it would melt in or absorb into the meat. It is a frozen turkey pattie, so I can't mix it into the pattie... if not, then I will just sprinkle it on my little side of veg baked beans...hehehe
It worked... I sprinkled the Acacia on the turkey pattie (after it was cooked) then covered with soy cheese and top bun, put the whole thing in the micro for like 30-40 sec to heat the bun and melt the cheese... I never notice it was even in there!

Hey Shell! A couple questions because I think I am going to try Acacia again in a couple weeks.
Are you a D, C, or A? And how much did you start taking the first week?
Thanks! And I'm glad "things" are changing for you  Hopefully for the better?!

HI there!
I'm "A" but I lean more towards the "C" side.....
I was already taking 7.5 grams of Citrucel pills (15 pills) per day....so I just did the math and started with 8 grams (4 teaspoons) of Acacia per day.... I just increased today (one week later) to a total of 9 grams (4-1/2 teaspoons) per day.
IF, you have not been taking any form of SFS then start with just 1/2 teaspoon per day and increase slowly every couple of day or once a week.
There is LOTS of great info here from Heather...I keep reading it over and over again to make sure I'm doing it all right...and I think so far so good, I'm right on track!!

Somewhere between 14-18 grams in addition to Acacia depending on what I have for dinner.
