Hi, would it help if you tried it on a day when you know you can stay home? For example, we've got Veteran's Day coming and so there's a long weekend. Also, the Acacia doesn't work overnight, it'll take a couple of weeks to see results or it may happen within a week. Depend on the person.

Good luck!

And by the way, there are no stupid questions 'cause if you don't ask, you don't learn. Furthermore, I completely understand where you're coming from because I don't REALLY eat unless I'm home. If I'm not home, I eat like a rabbit--very minimal--because my anxiety/agoraphobia makes me scared of feeling/getting sick if I'm "so far" from home ("so far" can be as far as 5 minutes from home!)

So good luck and start small. Start with 1/4 teaspoon maybe 2x a day for a week and then add another 1/4 teaspoon the week after, etc.

Ribs?! Gasp! IBSers shouldn't consume the other white meat!

Good luck with the Acacia.
