Acacia       03/15/05 10:33 AM Edit Reply Quote Raiken Reged: 11/13/03 Posts: 21 Loc: Massachusetts I've been gradually upping the dose of Acacia. I had been taking 2 caplets of Fiber Con 4 times a day, but it didn't help my constipation enough. I'm now taking 4 teaspoons of Acacia a day (1-1/2 teaspoon twice a day, and 1 tsp. once a day) and also still taking the fiber con twice a day. It's strange, but the constipation seems to be getting worse -- stools are dry and hard. I'm certainly drinking enough water as well. I'm wondering -- can acacia cause constipation? Or is it that I'm just not taking enough of it for it to work well? The other ibs symtoms of bloating, cramping and gas are pretty much gone. But I'm still constipated.
