Welcome!

Immodium is fine to take just in case. In fact you can actually take it regularly as a preventative - I took one tablet every morning for a few months to help me stabilise. Just don't ever try to go over the top and take 5 pills at once thinking that'll be better!

I think the recommendation is to start at 1/4 tsp Acacia once a day, then twice a day, then 3 times a day THEN up the dosage size. I was on a pretty harsh SFS before I got Acacia so I just went for the full dose...the side effects were alot less than I was getting from my old SFS! I'd drop down to 1/4 tsp and wait until you're less stressed about all this to increase the dose. It's hard to know if you're intolerant to it (which very occasionally happens) when you're stressing your body out anyway.

Enjoy going out tomorrow!
