About the "zingers to go", which flavors have you tried? The Green Tea/Peach flavor has caffeine so I know that's not gonna work. I've been looking for something to drink besides water, herbal tea & cranberry juice. Also, I just ordered Heather's acacia fiber for the first time! I'm excited, hope it works as well for me as it has for you & everyone else who's raved about it!

I DID TRY the Peach one and then realized it was not herb....DUH... so, I took it with me to a party and those that could not drink alcohol, added it to bottled water!  Now I drink the Tangerine Herb Tea and Wild Berry Herb Tea "Zingers To Go"

So....I've been taking Acacia now for a 10 weeks (as of Thurs)..... I'm going to stick with 12 grams (2 tablespoons) just from Acacia per day. (3 teaspoons in the morning....about 30 mins before my breakfast and then 3 teaspoons while making dinner and packing lunches, usually 30-40 mins before dinner)I'm still mixing it with either Tangerine and Wild Berry Herb Tea called " Zingers To Go " by Celestial Seasonings...
It is working WONDERS!! It is so nice to have a "formed" BM in about 3 minutes start to finish and really be finished if ya know what I mean. I have a large quantity at least once if not twice a day... it is WONDERFUL.
I love you Heather!!

Good for you!
I'm just wondering something out of curiosity. What is the optimal consistency of a BM for you?
Seems like most people here want a sort of soft but formed and big BM.
(See, normally this would be a very awkward conversation, but not here luckily... )
For me it is very different. I want my BM to be hard and dry basically because I have a damaged sphincter from a paralysis disease I had when I was a kid. So my bowels need to be slow for me to feel confident. Which of course leaves less room for variation... Sphincter dysfunction and IBS-D. What a lucky combination, right?

Like "toothpaste" coming out of a tube.....that is the best way to explain it... (no effort needed to hold it in or to get it out...)....smooth flow
