If it's not dissolving in water, I think you are mixing it incorrectly.
I think you need to get more IF from different fruits and vegetables.

...I simply see no results and am infuriated that it will not dissolve in water.
I'm finding it takes 30-60 seconds to dissolve in my decaf iced tea. I put the acacia at the bottom of a *dry* glass, then splash my liquid into the glass. Wait 30-60 seconds, stir and drink.
Someone previously mentioned that they walk away from theirs in the morning and go do something else quick, then come back to it and stir again - I think that would work well.
Someone else mentioned in another post today making theirs in a 2-quart pitcher of lemonade (with the appropriate "markup" amount of acacia), which also seems pretty smart to me. I would just be sure to start with a dry pitcher, put the acacia in first, and pour the liquid on top of the acacia.

Thanks for the suggestions, putting it at the bottum of water.
I switched this week back to Benefiber.
The result, I'm not sure if this means I should stay or go back. Yes I feel more relief, but that is only after horrendous, sulferic smelling gas. I mean HORRIFIC. However, the way I see it, at least some gas is being removed and I feel some relief, albeit not for too long.
Suggestions? Thanks.
