as an adult. So, he can take up to 30 grams a day of the Tummy Fiber. That's not a goal, that's a maximum, and he'd start with 1/2 tsp (which is one gram) twice daily. He would increase gradually, and keep gradually increasing until the constipation resolves.

For transitioning from a laxative like Miralax onto a soluble fiber supplement like the Tummy Fiber, check the 5 Constipation Frustrations starting here. They are all helpful, and one is specifically on this topic.
