Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | trouble with the acacia fiber

hi
i ordered some acacia fiber (actually it sounded so promising i ordered two pouches 1lb each)

well i am having a lot of trouble getting it to dissolve. i add it to the cup first and add cool or cold liquid, stir it with a fork but it still does not dissolve all the way.

i can see strands of it in whatever i put it in, even in yogurt smoothies made in the blender.

am i doing something wrong?

i also mixed up some in water and put that in the fridge to add to hot drinks and after 24 hrs it had a terrible odor, so i threw it out.

has anyone else had these problems? did i get a bad batch or something?

the strands look like something has curdled or gone bad and that puts me off to drinking it
also i can feel these undissolved particles on my tongue and its just not a pleasant experience

i was so hopefull that this would work out for me.
i wish i had bought some in gel caps, now, if they come that way (i didnt notice)

if i cant get the fiber to work out for me, i would like to offer the second pouch to someone at a reduced price (i cant find my invoice so i cant return it to Heather)
i would be happy to get $10 plus actual shipping for it- ship to US only.

thanks in advance for any help you can give me
