I have a question for all ya'll acacia users..
I'm new at the whole powder fiber supplements.. but whenever I pour the acacia into cold water peices of it get sorta gummy inside the bottle or glass. Not all of it actually evaporates.. and it kinda congeals and doesn't look so yummy?!? is this normal?

Mine does the same thing. I have learned to not put ice into the glass till afterward. I put the acacia into my water and just keep stirring as fast as I can, eventually it dissolves and then I put the ice in. When I first started using it...I didn't do it this way and would end up eating little chunks of it...not very tasty. Let me know what works for you!!

If you put the Acacia in the glass first, then add a little bit of liquid, stir it up and THEN add the rest of your drink, it'll be fine!

If you put the acacia in your container first, then add tepid or warm water from the tap is dissolves beautifully. Seems the warmer the better. Perhaps add it to the tummy tea of choice? When I'm in a hurry and only have cold water, you just stir like crazy. Either way, don't stop taking it!

I drink all my water from sport-type water bottles and when its time for some acacia, I use a funnel and dump it in, put on the lid and shake it up good. It always dissolves unless the water is really cold...but it does eventually disolve if I keep shaking it every couple mins.
