I started at 1 tsp twice a day and now I'm at 2 tbs twice a day....this seems to work well with me. It's the only thing I take for the C...although there have been times I've gotten extremely bad and used milk of magnesia but on a regular basis i stick to the acacia and it works well for me....
you will get some bloating and gas when you first start but your body should get used to it....if it doesn't go away then your dose may be too high so you should try taking a little less....
