You should stir it as soon as you add it to the water. Stir first, then if it's not fully dissolved, let it sit about 30 seconds and stir again. I also find shaking it in a water bottle really easy. Add the Acacia, then water, put the cap on and shake right away.

As for dosage I believe Heather says:
"Start at 1/2 - 1 level teaspoon twice a day and over the next week or two (or three or four) work up to 2-4 tablespoons twice a day, or the equivalent of 12-25 grams of soluble fiber supplement per day. Some people may need a maximum dose of 30 grams per day. If you stabilize at a lower dose, simply stay there."

I don't think there is a 'maximum dose' other than what you find works for you. I suggest increasing your dose very slowly.



I'm confused as to what dose I need.
-I already was taking 3 regular spoons (the type you use for regular meals) of Benefiber
-I am C and unstable
-So isn't 2 teaspoons a little light to start?

I'm having trouble figuering out the right dose, if you have any suggestions or guidance for me I'd appreciate it.
I do not understand why I should start low given my current state and that I am not a newbie to supplements.
Thanks.
