Hi Lainey- Just wanted to say that NC has really straightened out my BM--much softer now, and I don't have bloating and gas hardly at all. I started with 1 tsp morning and another at bedtime, but have cut that back temporarily to 1/2 tsp morning and night. It says on the container to use as much as you need to so that your BMs are "comfortably loose."
I also take lots of calcium--so that's different than your situation.
