Hi Trish,
Although I do not take that brand, I wanted to tell you not to worry. It took me approximately 4 weeks to get up to the 'recommended dosage' on the bottle of what I am taking.
When I first started taking a supplement, my stomach really wanted to know what the heck was going on...it gurgled, cramped up a bit and at first felt abnormally full.
Gradually building up over time did the trick for me, as did having lots of fennel tea...or, if you feel crampy and don't mind the taste of fennel, I actually just pop some in my mouth, chew it up and swallow it! Surprisingly instant relief of stomach cramps, let me assure you.
Don't give up! It takes the body some time to adjust, and as long as you aren't in pain stick it out for 1 week and see what happens  Or, try to lower it down to bare minimum.
Supplements really make the world of difference for me!

Same thing here. I'm using the smallest dose possible: 1/4 tsp. twice a day. I'm hoping it gets better.
