Hello again,
I bought acacia, and have started it. My question is this: Can I mix it up ahead of time? Like a week's worth?
Also, I take Miralax. Can I mix it into the Miralax drink i take every morning?

I don't mix up a weeks worth of Acacia but I do mix 2 days worth of it without any problems. I put mine in 1/4 cup of juice, I mix 4 of them up at a time. Don't know anything about miralax sorry.

Thanks, Franny, I appreciate the response. I'm a little surprised this isn't coverd in he FAQ: it seems like a question a lot of people would be curious about. So I guess after 2 days, it doesn't get yukky or anything?
I start school again in a week (I'm a teacher) and want to get on a schedule again. I've been using miralx all summer, and it's very helpful, but my doctor told me to stop taking fiber since it gives me gas/bloating. That's the reason I'm trying the acacia. Keep your fingers crossed! :-)

I mix up a week's worth ahead of time without any problems. I have a big pitcher with about two quarts of water and then my acacia mixed in. At 8 oz. per serving, that makes for eight days worth.
