I have been taking psyllium fiber tablets for a few months. I received the tummy fiber and was wondering if I should wait for a few days in between the two fibers, or is ok to just start using your fiber immediately

Hi - you don't have to wait. Just start with 1/2 tsp twice daily for 3-4 days. Then add an extra 1/2 tsp to one of those doses. Wait 3-4 days, then increase your other dose as well.

Follow that increase pattern every 3-4 days or so. That makes for a gradual, staggered dose increase so you can gradually work your way up to what your gut needs for normal motility.

Please keep me posted!

XOXO
