Hey everyone! I'm a little confused on dosages when switching from Acacia to Citrucel.
Unfortunately Acacia Fiber simply does not work in my body. I am attempting to switch to Citrucel. However the dosage listing for Citrucel is "1 heaping Tablespoon" for 2g Methylcellulose. So does 1 Tablespoon of Citrucel simply equal 1 teaspoon of Acacia(2g)?
I am confused because on Heather's Soluble Fiber Supplement page it 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 less than this (typically for diarrhea) and some folks may need up to 30 grams per day (typically for chronic constipation). Just keep gradually increasing your dose until you stabilize, and then stay there. Please note that different manufacturers may have different maximum dosages on their labels. Check with the individual manufacturer if you are exceeding the dosage they recommend.
I've gotten so used to teaspoons with my fiber that a Tablespoon of powder has me a little worried. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
