I'm not sure if this is the right place to post my questions but it is my first post.

I've been using the Tummy Fiber for about 2 weeks, gradually increasing the dose. I was up to 2 tsp in the AM and 2 tsp in the PM. Monday didn't have a BM at all. Thought maybe I was at too high a level. Forgot to take the PM dose. Got up Tuesday with some cramping but the first BM was normal. Cramping did not go away and then went into diarrhea that I finally took Imodium to stop. Was late for work. What is the guideline on a maintenance amount and should I therefore continue to increase the amount after this episode?

Also what is considered "low fat" on this diet? 2 grams or more or less?

I've read both books.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Emom1951,

I think you need to give it some time to work. Don't use Imodium too quick. It will work the otherway if you use them both.

Good luck!

Best regards,
Saskia

You're welcome. Give it a change. Sometimes it can take a few weeks/month and sometimes the build up may be too fast. But when you are stable again you'll be so glad.
Don't give up!

Best regards,
Saskia
