I have watery diarrhea due to the worst stomach flu I've had in a long time. I usually take Acacia Powder twice a day (for constipation). I'm wondering if I should still take the Acacia Powder while I have the bad diarrhea or would that make it worse?

The acacia can only help with the diarrhea, so use it while you have the flu... new

or things will be even worse. Stick to your usual dose, and drop back to the safe soluble fiber foods as well. Plus plenty of peppermint, fennel, or other herbal teas.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Best,
Heather
